ATTN Innovative Undergraduate Student!

Due to an increase in interest and demand for the RISE Competition, we will be extending the deadline for the first round and for the final time until Wednesday February 3, 4:00 P.M EST!

This means that your Executive Summary (max. 2 pages ) and Elevator Pitch (90 seconds) must be properly submitted by the extended deadline.  I encourage you to consider this opportunity as only a University of Waterloo student may qualify for the grand prize of $5,000 and entry for the Wes Nicol Entrepreneurial Award.

If you are interested, create a YouNoodle account and join RISE today! Carefully review the attached protocol document in submitting material through YouNoodle for the RISE Competition – failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in disqualification from the RISE Competition and/or entry for the Wes Nicol Entrepreneurial Award.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that judges and RISE administrative staff will be signing a confidentiality/nondisclosure agreement to ensure that the highest security and regard is given to your ideas.  If you want to inquire further about confidentiality measure please feel free to contact me by telephone or e-mail address [below].

Thanks!
