Falcons’ Fortunes (based on the popular TV series Dragons’ Den) invites Ontario-based entrepreneurs working in the oncology space to pitch innovative research ideas to an external panel of judges. The 2021 event is scheduled to coincide with World Cancer Day on Thursday, February 4th, 2021. Hosted by the FACIT Falcons (i.e. the FACIT team), this annual event offers $50,000 in Prospects funding to invest in the most promising oncology research idea. While the research idea should be novel and sound, the competition is for the best pitch i.e. the presentation that best convinces the investor judging panel on the value of the idea and how $50,000 would improve and/or better illustrate the potential, and if possible commercial, value of the innovative idea itself. The Falcons’ Fortunes event endeavors to enhance, support and celebrate a culture of commercialization in Ontario, such as the cultivation of skill sets that enable ideas to be successfully pitched to investors and promotion of entrepreneurial spirit. Eligibility: The Falcons’ Fortunes pitch competition is open to any Ontario-based entrepreneurial researcher (e.g. academia, research institutions, research hospitals, startups, etc.) working in the oncology space. Basically, anyone with the entrepreneurial itch should participate! Application Deadline: December 4th, 2020.
