​Startupfest is a three-day founder-focused festival in Montréal that brings startups, investors, and ecosystem leaders from across the world together to connect and unlock real opportunities. Since 2011, Startupfest has redefined the startup conference, trading the traditional grind for a high-energy festival atmosphere designed to move founders from inspiration to action.
The event is engineered for growth through three core pillars: world-class content from industry titans, an immersive Startupfest Village featuring curated Match-Ups and Mentor Office Hours, and high-stakes pitch competitions.
