[26.6] FounderFuel Dinner Series — Venture Builders Breakout w/ Startup Rotman

​Aureum invites you to an evening where venture building takes center stage — and the conversation goes both ways.

​Venture Builders Breakout w/ Startup Rotman

​We're bringing together a carefully curated room of Founders, C-suite Executives, and Investors — joined by a cohort of MBA entrepreneurs from Startup Rotman, the University of Toronto Rotman School of Management's venture builder for graduate students.

​Leading the evening is Hussam Ayyad — Aureum Founding Member, Co-Founder & COO of Teammates.ai, and Founding Executive Director of Startup Rotman. A builder who has guided 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 40+ accelerator cohorts, Hussam sits at the rare intersection of academic rigor and operational reality.

​This is not a panel. Not a pitch night. A genuine exchange between people at different stages of the same journey — building something that matters, and figuring out how to make it last.

​We look forward to sharing this evening with you!
