PitchIt 2026

PitchIt! Minto Business Competition 3.0

Since its launch in 2012, the PitchIt! Minto Business Competition has helped spark local entrepreneurship, support small business growth, and showcase the many resources available right here in Minto. Now, the Town of Minto—alongside the LaunchIt Business Exploration Centre and our generous sponsors—is proud to continue this exciting tradition with PitchIt! 3.0.

This year’s competition is open to entrepreneurs ready to take the next step—whether that means expanding or purchasing an existing business, launching a new venture, or relocating a business within Minto.

Participants will develop a Business Model Canvas (BMC), a practical one-page tool used to map out and refine a business idea. Along the way, they’ll receive expert coaching on building their BMC, developing financials, and delivering a compelling pitch.

Thanks to the incredible support of local partners and businesses, more than $19,000 in prizes will be awarded in 2026, with funding and customized supports available for both the winner and finalists.
