Toronto’s tech scene moves fast. But the stories that really matter – the pivots, the hard calls, the lessons learned the hard way – rarely get told.
At our monthly Together Toronto series, we bring founders onto the stage to share what it looks like to build a company here. Honest behind-the-scenes conversations from entrepreneurs who’ve taken bold bets, hit unexpected walls, and figured out how to keep moving.
What to expect:
- Founder stories with the specifics left in
- A room of builders, operators, and investors
- Conversations that challenge how you think about your own company
Whether you’re launching your first thing, scaling a team, or just curious about how Toronto’s best companies get built – there’s a seat here for you.
Who you’ll hear from:
Ankita Sharma, CEO, Philer
Raghav Midha, Co-Founder & CEO, Terminal
Lylia Djait-Paulien, Co-Founder & CEO, Tyce
Mike Masterson, Managing Partner, Supermoon Capital
This isn’t just an event. It’s your community.
Come ready to listen, connect, and meet the people building what’s next.
