Rescue Revolution:
Pioneering Breakthroughs in Emergency Services
Join us at Oshawa’s Fire Station 5 on Oct. 29 as we spotlight some of the Region’s most promising startups in Emergency Services.



Join us February 25th as Startup Grind presents Drop Your Pitch — a live pitch competition that combines networking, valuable advice from leaders in the field, Q&As and an opportunity for you to cast your vote as part of the live audience!
At Drop Your Pitch three entrepreneurs will present their best sales pitch to a panel of judges in front of a live audience for a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card! Our judging panel will critique the pitches and both our judges and live audience will cast their vote on the winning pitch.
But that’s not all! Two of our judges — Bob Weese, Managing Partner of B2B Sales Connections and Frank Auddino, Spark Centre’s Angel in Residence — will also provide the audience with valuable insight into how to create a strong sales pitch and alter that pitch to engage investors.
The Contestants:
Boyd Reid, Co-Founder & COO of Hop In
Joel Davies, VP of Marketing for Render Developments
Griffin LeBlanc, Sales Manager for Stratosfy
The Judges:
Sherry Colbourne, President & CEO of Spark Centre
Frank Auddino, Spark Centre Angel in Residence
