For founders

Pitch the innovation, not your background.

A clear path for founders building products, services, or technologies that improve outcomes for neurodiverse people.

Who it is for

Open to any founder. The eligibility criterion is the innovation — not the founder’s background.

What they get

  • Present to a national audience across the Canadian circuit.
  • Show the practical outcome your product or service can create.
  • Meet investors, ecosystem partners, sponsors, and potential adopters.
  • Move from pitch visibility into structured follow-up introductions.
