RSVP for free tickets.

Startup Survivor is a 4-month Accelerator and Pitch Competition run through The Forge Business Incubator that awards $75,000 to McMaster University students and alumni with the best business ideas. The program runs annually throughout the Summer Term. We began in May with 10 startups and 35 competitors – 28 Students and 7 Alumni from all levels: Undergraduate, Masters, PhD. To support the growth of these startups, McMaster and The Forge awarded $40,000 to the 10 teams while mentoring them through intense business and technical challenges. Finalists will deliver a 5-minute pitch to the audience and esteemed judging panel. After deliberations, we’ll crown our winners and award the remaining $35,000 in our prize pool!

Join The Forge & McMaster University on November 14 from 5 – 8 p.m. at CIBC Hall (McMaster University Student Center, Third Floor). We hope to see you all there!
