What is Schulich Startup Night?
Schulich Startup Night is the biggest pitch competition at The Schulich School of Business, York University, bringing together the next generation of founders, investors, and industry experts. Since its launch in 2014, SSN has grown into a must-attend event, launching and accelerating some of Schulich’s most successful ventures.
Schulich Startup Night (SSN-20) is a pitch competition, but it is also a high-energy, high-stakes celebration of innovation, resilience, and breakthrough ideas.
