A month-long competition rewarding standout financial forecasting by founders.

Most startup competitions reward the best storytellers.

This one rewards the best operators.

With the No-Pitch Competition, there’s no stage, no deck, and no rehearsed speeches—just the numbers prove whether a startup is built to scale.

We're giving one startup $10,000 in cash for having the strongest financial model, not the flashiest pitch. Using Profitual’s AI-driven forecast evaluator, we analyzed submissions from startups across Canada against investor-grade benchmarks to determine who the top operators are.

And we have a winner for the May 2025 competition.

Meet the Top 20
