About Event

Ever wanted to ask a Silicon Valley VC your toughest questions? Here’s your chance.

Join us for a special Tech Thursday AMA featuring J. Skyler Fernandes, General Partner at VU Venture Partners and Founder of Venture University, the world’s leading investor accelerator.

Skyler has been recognized as a Powerlist 100 VC, having invested in 25+ unicorns and achieved 20+ multi-billion-dollar exits. He’s now on a mission to democratize access to venture capital—helping founders, investors, and aspiring VCs learn how top funds source, evaluate, and scale winning companies.

This open conversation is your opportunity to: • Ask real questions about raising capital and pitching to VCs • Learn how venture investors think when making decisions • Explore Venture University, a hands-on program that trains the next generation of top VCs and angel investors

Whether you’re a founder, investor, or future venture capitalist, this is a rare chance to connect directly with a Silicon Valley GP—right here in Ottawa.

The event takes place immediately after SaaS North, and unlike the conference, Tech Thursday is open to the public. Space is limited, so be sure to register early.
