Lunch & Learn: A Roundtable for First-Time Investors

​Thinking about making your first tech investment? Join GSA Ventures for a relaxed and insightful lunch roundtable on June 25th at 11:00 AM, hosted at Global Startups HQ.

We’re gathering a small group of aspiring investors to explore what it really takes to spot early-stage companies with big potential — often overlooked by mainstream capital. Our lens? Traction, grit, and real-world performance over hype.

In this two-hour session, we’ll cover:

​— How venture capital works at the earliest stages
— What syndicated and VC funds are — and how they fit into the investment landscape
— Lessons from nearly a decade supporting startups and writing our first cheque

If you’re looking to learn, connect, and explore the tech investment world without the jargon, this lunch is for you.

​We are officially part of Toronto Tech Week 2025, a weeklong citywide collection of events to connect and celebrate the builders. June 23 → June 27, 2025 | torontotechweek.com
