Building a $1B Company: How Mike Wessinger Built Canada’s Largest Private Software Company
Join Mike Wessinger, Co-Founder of PointClickCare — Canada's largest private software company — and Rishard Rameez, Founder of Zown, for a closed-door fireside on what it actually takes to build a billion-dollar company. 100 seats. $1M+ ARR founders only.
What You'll Get Out of It
This isn't a panel or a keynote. It's a candid, unscripted conversation with someone who's actually done it — built from zero to a $5B+ valuation without going public. Mike will get into the real inflection points: the decisions that compounded, the mistakes that cost time, and the mindset shifts that separate founders who scale from founders who plateau. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what the next leg of your journey actually looks like.
Who This Is For
Founders doing $1M+ in revenue who are past the survival stage and now navigating the harder questions — how to scale the team, how to hold culture, how to think about capital, and how to build something that lasts. If you're at that stage, this room was built for you.
