Student Pitch Event
Live Stream
On March 25, 2023, Cape Breton University and Nova Scotia Health hosted a student pitch competition that brought together students, businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and community stakeholders to support investment in the health sector. Students had an opportunity to bring their business ideas forward for a chance to win $5,000 and business mentorship provided by Invest Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia’s early stage venture capital organization.
Invest Nova Scotia’s goal is to find, fund and foster innovative Nova Scotia start-ups that strive to change the world.
Congratulations to the winner, Jushya Sachdeva, with her company Dig Out Dementia. And thank you again to our sponsors, Invest NS, NS Health Authority and Springboard for making this event possible.
