Global Student Entrepreneur Awards
Atlantic Competition
November 5, 2020 Memorial University
About GSEA
The Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) program, hosted by Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), is designed for post-secondary students who own and operate businesses.
During the competition on November 5th at Memorial University, local finalists will compete against the Atlantic’s best by pitching for their chance at over $50,000 in cash and prizes and attend the Canadian National GSEA Competition in Halifax. The National winner will compete against the world’s best student entrepreneurs at the Global Finals for their chance at the global title. Additional prizes also include cash and services donated by EO members, such as web design, printing, public relations, and consulting.
Apart from the top-notch prize packages, the most valuable piece of GSEA is the access to EO members and their networks. EO members are entrepreneurs who run businesses with $1M + revenue and who have lived it all. They are there to support you along your entrepreneurial journey.
