Founders Potluck: F1 Grand Prix Edition
Summer in Montréal is back and we are ready 🏁
As Montréal comes alive for the Canadian Grand Prix 🏎️ and the long weekend of Victoria Day, we’re hosting a special Founders Potluck: Grand Prix Edition along the Lachine Canal.
Think of this as a slower, more intentional event to the city’s high-energy week, a place to gather with founders, investors, creatives, operators, and curious minds in a setting that feels both elevated and effortless.
No titles, no velvet ropes, just a curated mix of people sharing food, ideas, opportunities, and perspective.
It’s a potluck, so bring something thoughtful, whether it’s a favorite bottle, homemade food, snacks, or simply your best energy. Show up as you are and take the time to enjoy the moment. Some of the most meaningful relationships begin in these in-between spaces.
Open to those who value authentic conversations, ambitious ideas, and genuine connection.

This edition is co-hosted with Eugene, founder of IntentMatch, an intentional matchmaking platform designed to engineer meaningful connections through the lens of Planned Happenstance Theory.
As a first-generation immigrant and two-time entrepreneur, Eugene created IntentMatch to cut through the social noise by transforming specific business challenges into intentional, high-signal connections with the right people. The mission is simple: move beyond the randomness of the room and create more meaningful outcomes from every conversation.
Looking forward to welcoming you for an afternoon that blends Montréal’s Grand Prix energy with a more grounded, intentional atmosphere.
