Yesterday, we hosted Basecamp Demo Day, a historical conclusion to our largest student entrepreneurship program to date. 55 student businesses joined DMZ’s global startup ecosystem for the 4-week Basecamp Sprint program, followed by the 8-week Basecamp Voyage experience. Throughout the Summer, these students received expert 1-on-1 mentoring, customized coaching, and networking opportunities. $50,000 in grants were awarded to the top four student businesses thanks to our sponsors Embark Student Corp. and the George & Helen Vari Foundation. Congratulations to: GlucoSense, a HealthTech startup founded by Justin Allen and Tenzin Dhonyoe from Toronto Metropolitan University, was named the first-place winner and took home $20,000 CAD. PNYX, an Entertainment startup founded by Asar Qadir from Metalworks Institute/Yorkville University, was named the second-place winner and took home $15,000 CAD, as well as the People’s Choice award, voted by the audience. Summina, a HealthTech startup founded by Sylvia Gehring from Toronto Metropolitan University, was named the third-place winner and took home $10,000 CAD.

It doesn't take an economist to know that today's financial realities can be tough for many Canadians, especially with rising costs and competing needs clamouring for more of your hard-earned money💰 With this, we wanted to check in with students to see how they were feeling and managing in this economic climate. Here's what they had to say💫 #student #savings #personalfinance #financialliteracy #studentlife #financialfreedom
