Become a judge or sponsor
The Apex Startup Challenge would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.
We are seeking funding for Apex to enhance the overall experience for the participants by providing prizes, networking events, and meals.
We invite you and your organization to take part in the Apex experience as a judge and a participant in all our networking events. All sponsors will receive promotional opportunities to showcase your organization, with additional benefits available based on donation amounts.
Get in front of students and real ventures – promote your name, potential to work together down the road and make connections.
We also welcome individuals interested in judging to contact us at ibec@unb.ca.
