Our executive judges are accomplished leaders from across Canada. Some have risen to senior leadership positions within respected national organizations, while others have built and scaled successful businesses of their own. What unites them is a shared commitment to supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.

​

While our judges play an important role in evaluating applications, their impact extends far beyond the scorecard. They bring invaluable insight, experience, and perspective, offering guidance that helps founders navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and accelerate their growth.

​

For many applicants, access to this caliber of mentorship and feedback is just as valuable as the competition itself.
