What is the Startup Showdown?
The Startup Showdown is a 2-day business simulation tailored for students like you who have or who might not have prior entrepreneurship experience but have a passion for starting their own business someday.
This event is held simultaneously at Selkirk College in Castlegar, and College of the Rockies Cranbrook campus.
How does it work?
You can form teams of up to four people, or if you prefer, sign up individually, and we’ll help you find an awesome team. The goal is to provide a fantastic chance for collaboration across various programs.
Registration is free and a free lunch is provided both days! Plus, attendees have a chance to win over $1000 in cash and prizes!
