LaunchDal, Dalhousie University’s business accelerator program, is taking applications for its Collide Winter 2018 program, which is set to start on Jan. 25.

The program is open to anyone with a business idea and is free. 

Participants will attend four pitching sessions and present their business idea as it currently stands. After taking the idea through a series of workshops and fireside chats, participants will have the chance to take part in the Pitch Competition.

The top teams from the program pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win prize money to launch their business. First, second and third place are awarded $3000, $2000 and $1000 respectively. 

Applications are due Monday, Jan. 22. Apply for the program here.
