Last night, the University of Waterloo’s incubator, Velocity, hosted its highly anticipated All-Stars Pitch Competition, and we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business students who took centre stage.

As always, the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) students and founders who have taken Enterprise Co-op and our undergraduate business and entrepreneurship courses crushed it in this competition! In fact, half of the finalists were Conrad School alumni and students, underscoring the transformative power of our programs and the collaborative approach to entrepreneurship that makes Waterloo so unique.

The Problem Lab’s Problem Pitch Competition Finals, hosted and sponsored by the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, is set to showcase innovative student-driven solutions to pressing global challenges. 

The competition, which focuses on solving significant issues through research and entrepreneurial efforts, offers a grand prize of $7,500 to the team that demonstrates the most in-depth understanding and creative solution of their selected, impactful problem.

Tyler Cormier’s entrepreneurial journey began at home, where both of his parents ran their own businesses for over 30 years. Growing up in this environment, Tyler was inspired by the freedom, innovation, and problem-solving that entrepreneurship provided.  

During his undergraduate years, Tyler took courses at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, where he quickly realized that the program’s dynamic culture, innovative approach, and inspiring professors were aligned with his ambitions. This led him to pursue a Minor in Entrepreneurship alongside his Honours Sports Business degree and start his own business.

Eager to further hone his entrepreneurial skills, Tyler turned to the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Technology (MBET) program. For him, MBET was the perfect opportunity to deepen his entrepreneurial mindset and gain hands-on experience. The program equipped him with the practical tools and strategic thinking required to navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world.
