Celebrating Conrad School Talent at Velocity's All-Stars Pitch Competition!
Last night, the University of Waterloo’s incubator, Velocity, hosted its All-Stars Pitch Competition, and we couldn’t be prouder of the 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.
A special congratulations to Jesh Ramesh, MBET 2024, who took home 1st place with his startup, GreaseTech, and a $25,000 prize!
Shoutout to our Conrad School Community, who each took home $10,000:
-
