Plutoshots: Ideas x Builders
Plutoshots is a curated gathering where unfinished ideas meet the people who might help make them real.
It’s not a pitch competition and it’s not another networking mixer. It’s a semi-formal space designed to bring technical and non-technical people together around ideas, problems, skills, and things worth building.
Take your shot
We’ll select 15 people to give a two-minute shot to the room.
You can:
Pitch an idea you’re building or want to explore
Share a problem or theme you can’t stop thinking about
Pitch yourself, your skills, and the kind of project you’d love to join
Tell the room exactly who or what you’re looking for
No slides. No polished startup theatre. No need to have everything figured out.
Just two minutes to tell us:
Who are you? What are you exploring? Who do you want to meet?
One match, curated for you
Before the event, we’ll ask attendees about their skills, interests, ideas, and the kinds of people they want to meet.
From that, every attendee will receive one curated 1:1 match — someone in the room we think you should have a conversation with.
We’ll tell you who they are and why we matched you before you arrive.
After the curated conversation, the room opens up. Heard a shot that caught your attention? Go find them.

Who should come?
Founders, engineers, designers, product people, operators, marketers, researchers, domain experts, students, and curious builders.
You do not need an idea to belong here.
Maybe you have something you desperately want to build. Maybe you have technical skills and are looking for the right problem. Maybe you understand an industry deeply. Maybe you’re a designer looking for an engineer, or an engineer looking for someone who understands distribution.
You can come with an idea, a skill, a problem, or simply the desire to build something with interesting people.
Attendance will be curated to bring together a complementary mix of technical and non-technical builders.
Food
Your C$15 ticket includes light snacks from the snack bar.
