Venture Summit Fireside Chat: Capital Ecosystems & Funding Growth

​Fuel your afternoon with great food and an even better conversation.

​Join Tracey Scarlett, Executive Director of VCAA, as she leads a fireside chat with Patrick Lor, Managing Partner at Panache Ventures, and Yasmin Al-Hussein from Yaletown Ventures. Together, they’ll unpack how Canada’s capital landscape is shifting to meet the needs of high-growth startups — from emerging investment trends to the strategies entrepreneurs can use to navigate venture capital from coast to coast.

​Expect candid insights on what VCs look for in Canadian startups, how to build lasting investor relationships, and the role of government initiatives in mobilizing private capital.

​This session is open to all summit participants. Lunch will be served.
