Our goal is to collaborate and grow the city's entrepreneurial community through the organization of pitch cafés, competitions and workshops. Within the structure, I was part of the organizing team of La Grande Finale. It is the biggest student pitch competition in Montreal. After a long selection process, the five chosen entrepreneurs will have to pitch in front of more recognized dragons, and, at the same time, organize a conference panel and a cocktail party. My mission is to manage all the logistics of the event as well as some of the partnerships. I am also in charge of managing the 30 volunteers and welcoming the 5 renowned jurors.
