HBS Alumni New Venture Contest
On March 6th the HBS Club of Toronto hosted the
2012 Canada New Venture contest at the McKinsey & Company offices.
Seven esteemed judges with a diverse mix of investing and
entrepreneurial experience evaluated business plans and presentations
from two incredible, HBS alumni-led teams.
We are pleased to announce that this year’s Canada
New Venture Contest winner is Pixie. Pixie, founded by Jennifer Lee
Koss (MBA 2008) and Kena Paranjape , will go on to represent Canada at
the global grand finals event held in Boston next month. Pixie is a
daily destination e‐commerce site that connects small suppliers,
designers and artisans with their core market, while bringing the
consumer a tightly curated, content rich experience with unique, quality
lifestyle products they feel good about buying.
Congratulations again to Jennifer and Kena and
best of luck representing Canada! A special thank you to all the
participants, the judges and our sponsors (McKinsey & Company,
Deloitte, Right Management and April Dunford).
HBS Club of Toronto Scholarships
The HBS Club of Toronto is pleased to announce the
winners of the 2012 scholarships for non-profit leaders. For many
years, the Club has sponsored CEOs from leading Toronto-based
non-profits to attend the HBS executive education program "Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management".
Those scholarships have proven so popular and successful that, this
year, we introduced scholarships to a different HBS executive education
program: "Performance Measurement for Effective Measurement of Nonprofit Organizations". Please join us in congratulating our 2012 winners!
