What is Melamoon?

Melamoon is a national pitch competition presented by FACE, powered by Interac, in partnership with BLAXPO, designed to support Black entrepreneurs across Canada. It is a five-city roadshow with qualifying events leading to a Grand Finale in Toronto on October 16–17, 2026.

why does melamoon exist?

Melamoon was created to provide Black entrepreneurs across Canada with national visibility, funding opportunities, and meaningful connections within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

why a pitch competition rather than a traditional investment?

We know there are great business ideas that do not always emerge through traditional investment processes. Melamoon gives a broader range of entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their ideas and connect with investors, mentors, and ecosystem leaders.
