SBC has announced the inclusion of SBC First Pitch in the 26th edition of the Canadian Gaming Summit, taking place from June 13th to 15th, at the Metro Toronto Convention Center.
This startup competition for sports betting and iGaming firms has been successfully conducted at SBC Summit North America in New Jersey and the global flagship SBC Summit Barcelona event. With SBC now managing the Canadian Gaming Summit, the First Pitch competition will be a vital component of the Growth & Leadership track on the second full day of the event, June 15th.
The SBC First Pitch application period is officially open and will remain so until April 30th. A panel of esteemed judges will meticulously evaluate each submission to assess their alignment with the application criteria, and ultimately select the five most promising startups with the strongest pitch decks.
The selected companies will receive the opportunity to present their ground-breaking concepts in front of industry leaders and investors, as well as compete for a chance to secure an exclusive prize package already valued at CA$30,000, designed to support their future development and growth plans.
Sue Schneider, VP of Growth & Strategy at SBC, says: “One of our previous winners, Parleh Media Group, is a Canada-based company, and the country itself is a well-established tech hub and a centre for global investment.
