Pitchers & Founders | From Idea to Funding
How do you get funded in Toronto?
Join us at Pitchers & Founders to find out.
On Nov 5, We are excited to have Tammer Kamel, General Partner at Antler and co-founder of Quandl (acquired by Nasdaq).
Antler is a global VC with a portfolio of 1,800+ companies, including investments in companies such as Chexy, Lovable, and Airalo.
At Pitchers & Founders, we bring accomplished Founders and Investors to local Toronto bars to deliver unique learnings and practical startup lessons. (Your ticket includes admission and drink ticket 🍷)
❓What would you learn about?
From building a startup in his Toronto basement to having it acquired by Nasdaq, Tammer now invests in the next generation of Canadian founders.
He will talk about taking an idea to building a company, and how to get access to venture funding in Canada.
He will explore:
✅ His startup journey, from building to acquisition
✅ How founders should approach building a startup in Canada today
✅ Common fundraising mistakes and how to avoid them
✅ What is Venture Capital (VC), what he looks for in founders, and what makes a business investable
✅ How should founders think about AI
🤷♀️ So why would you attend?
This is your chance to actually hear from someone who’s “been there, done that” + get direct advice from him (or pitch him your billion dollar idea)... all in a casual setting with a drink in your hand.
Also, since we bring the most ambitious founders, builders, investors, and aspiring entrepreneurs under one roof, take some time to relax, have fun, and actually connect with like-minded individuals who are serious about building.

🎯 Who we are
We have taken the leap from stable, high-growth careers to become full-time founders. We get you!
We also know that advice is everywhere, but opportunities to connect in real life with founders who’ve been through it is harder to find.
That’s why we built LocoBloco. We bring founders together to learn, build friendships, and make the founder journey a little less lonely and a lot more fun. We strongly believe in the power of community and that no one should have to navigate this journey alone.
