Canada's premier pitch competition for Black tech founders, back for its sixth year, 68 floors above the Financial District. Selected startups receive investor-readiness coaching and $10K in legal support, then pitch live for $170K in investments and grants from Scotiabank and partners. The format: founder pitches, keynotes from Black operators and investors, plus structured networking with the investor and mentor side of DMZ's accelerator network. Since launch, the Summit has awarded $600K+ to Black-led startups.
