A month-long competition rewarding standout financial forecasting by founders.
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.
Read on to learn about what these companies are up to, and who is looking to secure investment.
We would love to answer any questions you have about Profitual.

The No-Pitch competition is open to businesses operating in all sectors.
The benchmarks that power our evaluation model are derived from thousands of startup financial model data points across a wide variety of sectors.
Forecast models are first evaluated by our secure, privately owned AI model that has been trained on thousands of startup financial model data points.
Evaluation is then audited by a team of early-stage accountants and venture capitalists with over 2 decades of combined experience.
Forecasts are evaluated against three primary sets of criteria:
1. VC Grade - Does the model show an investable business?
2. Comprehensive - How complete is the financial forecast?
3. Accuracy - How correct are your calculations and assumptions?
