PEF Toronto x Toronto Tech Week: The Post-Exit Journey
Join us for a special Toronto Tech Week edition of PEF Toronto featuring coffee, light breakfast, and an honest conversation about life after the exit.
We’ll hear from three accomplished post-exit founders from the Toronto tech ecosystem as they share stories from their journeys: building companies, navigating exits, and figuring out what comes next. The conversation will be moderated by Raman Seghal and will explore themes like identity, ambition, reinvention, freedom, purpose, and the unexpected realities of life after a major milestone.
This is not a tactical M&A session or a polished fireside chat. The goal is a candid, thoughtful discussion among founders who’ve been through it, followed by plenty of time to connect with others in the community.
