About this Event
🚀 Join our event in Toronto!
We design Pitch and Networking nights to help founders sharpen their thinking through direct, candid feedback and to give strong investors access to serious teams.
🎤 On stage on 19 November: five founders, five pitches, a tiny desk robot, an AI guidance app and an AI speech therapist among them; three are running pilots and one of them is raising a $2M pre-seed round. A few pitch slots for 19 November are still open.
Our pitch night is complemented by a structured networking session before and after the pitch session.
