Meet Theory Ventures | Mixer with Waterloo Venture Group
Welcome to the talent room.
On January 15, we’re bringing Theory Ventures to Waterloo – along with members of their portfolio companies, flown in from around the continent – for a curated evening focused on one thing: finding exceptional co-op and early-career talent.
The best startup talent in North America is being built right here in Waterloo, and this night is about putting it in the same room as the teams looking for it.
Theory Ventures and their portfolio companies are actively hiring Cycle 1 co-ops. These roles are early, high-ownership, and designed for students who want to work close to the product and the people building it.
This event is the opportunity to:
Put a face to the teams behind the WaterlooWorks postings
Show what you’re made of by mixing with leaders from Theory, their portfolio companies, and Waterloo’s best
Stand out in a competitive cycle by being known, not just seen
The room
This is an application-only, closed-door gathering of:
Waterloo’s strongest co-op candidates across engineering, product, and data
Early-stage startup teams actively hiring this cycle
Students serious about working at fast-moving software companies
The value isn’t just who you meet from Theory. It’s who you meet next to you.
What applying unlocks
By applying, you’re not just attending the event. You’re also putting your name forward for:
Co-op and early-career opportunities with Theory Ventures’ portfolio companies
Future private hiring opportunities and introductions
Access to Waterloo Venture Group’s talent network for exclusive roles and events
Limited capacity. Application required.
Eats, drinks, and good company. We’ll send the location to those accepted.
