​StartupCampWaterloo

​Pitch Your Ambition.

​Big ideas start small. StartupCampWaterloo is a community-first pitch event where founders and builders share their ideas, test their story, and get feedback from fellow founders, operators, investors, and supporters.

​What is StartupCampWaterloo?

​StartupCampWaterloo is Waterloo’s low-stakes, high-trust pitch room. Whether you’re testing a wild new startup idea, refining your story before talking to investors, or simply sharing your vision with the community — this is your place.

​Come tell us:

• ​What you’re building

• ​Why it matters

• ​Who it’s for

• ​What you need next

​You don’t need perfect slides. You don’t need revenue. You don’t even need a product. You need a story.

​The Format

• ​5:30pm — Doors open, networking

• ​6:00pm — Kickoff & opening remarks

• ​6:15pm — Pitches (5-7 min pitch, 5 min Q&A & feedback)

• ​8:30pm — Wrap-up & social

​No judging. No prizes. No investors to impress. Just founders helping founders.

​Who Should Pitch?

• ​First-time founders

• ​Ambitious students

• ​Technical co-founders figuring out their market

• ​Founders preparing for accelerators or pre-seed

• ​Builders looking for co-founders, collaborators, or early feedback

​Why StartupCampWaterloo?

​Waterloo needs rooms where ambitious people can practice telling the story of what they’re building — without waiting for permission, funding, or perfect polish. StartupCampWaterloo helps founders clarify their thinking early, while surrounded by people who have done it before — or are doing it alongside you.

​Build your startup in public, before you get “on stage.”
