In the annual Dunin-Deshpande Summer Pitch Competition, teams have the opportunity to compete for Kingston's largest prize pool. The competition provides post-secondary students and members of the Kingston community with an opportunity to advance their early-stage venture through non-dilutive funding and mentorship. Competitors navigate a series of rounds and receive coaching from the DDQIC team and members of the Global Network to improve their final pitch.

Applications are now open and the deadline is Tuesday, July 18, 2023 at 9AM (EST).

The final competition takes place on August 17, 2023.
