Pitch Tank: Where Ideas Meet Investors (and $1M in Digital Capital)
💡 Think you can spot the next unicorn? Or maybe you are the next one?
Welcome to Pitch Tank, Ottawa’s first live startup investment simulation — where innovation meets entertainment. Join us at The Vault during the last week of October for a high-energy evening of pitches, investments, and competition.
💸 Here’s the Twist
Every audience member becomes an investor for the night, receiving $1,000,000 in digital capital to back their favorite founders. You’ll decide who deserves the most funding — and the founder who raises the most wins the Pitch Tank Championship Trophy 🏆.

🧠 Get instant market validation and crowd feedback through a dedicated project portal.
