Invest From The Ground Up: Investors, Founders & Policymakers Reception

​The next generation of Canadian companies will be built from the ground up, and so will the capital ecosystem that supports them.

​On the sidelines of the Canada Investment Summit, Invest From the Ground Up brings together investors, founders, policymakers and ecosystem leaders for an intimate evening of networking, food and drinks.

​While the Summit is focused on mobilizing long-term capital and major investment into Canada, this gathering creates space for the people working at the earliest stages of the innovation economy — backing new founders, building new funds and shaping the policies that will determine what gets built next.

​Hosted by:
DMZ — A leading tech incubator and global startup ecosystem at Toronto Metropolitan University, helping founders build, grow and scale high-impact ventures.

Startup Ecosystem Canada — A national platform connecting founders with investors, governments, mentors and other key stakeholders to strengthen Canada’s startup ecosystem.

The Dais — A public policy and leadership think tank at Toronto Metropolitan University working at the intersection of technology, education and democracy to advance shared prosperity in Canada.
