Vintage & Venture: Not Your Typical Roundtable Networking

​Toronto-Waterloo is home to a $146B startup ecosystem - the 38th most valuable in the world and the birthplace of 34 unicorns. Yet nearly 70% of Canada’s high-potential startups ultimately relocate their headquarters abroad.

​So how do we build companies that scale - and stay?

​Presented by Vintage & Venture and proudly hosted in partnership with Humber Downtown, this intimate roundtable brings founders, investors, and industry leaders together for a candid conversation on the future of Toronto’s venture and innovation ecosystem.

​We’ll explore:

• ​From Innovation to Scale

• ​Building Companies Worth Backing

• ​Commercializing Canadian Innovation

• ​Scaling Beyond Canada

​Proudly presented as an official Elevate Festival Community Event.
