DefenceTech Founders Dinner
We're thrilled to co-host with Ramp a private, invite-only dinner for founders building in Canadian defence and dual-use tech, on the evening DEPLOY wraps at SAAS NORTH AI.
DEPLOY spends the day on what to build, how to fund it and how to sell into defence. This dinner is where founders keep that conversation going with each other, around one table, without a stage.
What to expect
About 20 founders, good food and drinks. No pitches, no presentations. We aim for founders at a range of stages, so everyone has something to learn from each other. The room is for operators, and isn't open to service providers or investors.
Why Tech Thursday
Thursday Dinner Club has run in Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Halifax and Edmonton this year. In Halifax, we co-hosted with NATO DIANA during DEFSEC Atlantic. This dinner brings the series to Ottawa's defence and dual-use founders.
