Technically Speaking: Pitch decks and playdates
Join MaRS startup advisor Katie Hayes, Communitech CEO Sheldon McCormick, and Sprout Family COO Suzanne Mason for a panel discussion on navigating the dual demands of raising a family and building a venture.
At this month’s edition of Technically Speaking, panellists will share how they juggle parenting demands while scaling a venture. They’ll dive into the real trade-offs, the support systems required and how becoming a parent can actually sharpen your leadership skills, inspire a better culture and build a stronger business. Join us on October 13, to connect with fellow founders and gain practical insights for navigating both roles with resilience.
