Built by The Federation of African Canadian Economics aka FACE Coalition in partnership with BLAXPO, Melamoon is a national pitch competition that serves as a launchpad for Black Canadian founders. Our goal? Connecting Black ventures and ideas to real capital, mentorship, and opportunity.

Each stop on the tour is a full-day experience: watch live pitch competitions, join a hands-on hackathon, and connect with Black entrepreneurs and investors from across the country.

One founder wins the pitch. Every founder wins access. Melamoon is your opportunity to learn how FACE Coalition — and their network of funding partners — are opening doors to financing for Black business owners across Canada.

Now in its second edition, the 2026 tour kicked off in Montréal and is heading coast to coast. We’re bringing real resources and real community to Black founders in every city we visit.
