Student Builder Picnic @ Toronto Tech Week | WVG, MVCC, RCVC & IVCC
The Avengers of the student venture ecosystem are assembling
Waterloo Venture Group, McMaster Venture Capital Club, Rotman Commerce Venture Capital, and Ivey Venture Capital Club are coming together to host a student builder picnic at the ever IG-worthy Riverdale Park.
Let’s kick off the week the right way because it's no secret that we've used up our Claude limits and exhausted our daily quota of LinkedIn posting already.
This is your excuse to touch grass, unwind, and meet other builders, creators, operators, designers, and the coolest friends-of-friends you’ll meet all summer.
Meet someone new and chat startups, lore, life plans, travel, niche obsessions, and the future of the Maple Valley.
We wanted to create something that feels genuinely fun and low-pressure without losing the magic of being surrounded by ambitious people who are actually building things.
Bring your tripods, digis, snacks, card games, Shopify bucket hat, Polarity tee, or whatever belongs in your ideal Toronto summer evening starter pack.
We’ve got the blankets and drinks covered.
Come watch the sunset with us in the heart of Toronto while celebrating what it feels like to be a young builder in Canada.
