For Sophisticated Investors

Curated access to Canada's most promising growth-stage technology companies

A curated room of active allocators meeting growth-stage Canadian tech companies. Attendance is by invitation only.

Why Attend

Quality dealflow without the conference chaos

Large investor conferences are noisy, impersonal, and time-consuming. Our intimate format gives you substantive access to carefully vetted companies—and the investors evaluating them alongside you.

Each event features just 2–3 presenting companies, selected for demonstrated traction and credible growth trajectories. No pitch-night chaos. No tire-kickers. Just quality conversations over a good meal.

01

Vetted Companies Only

Every presenting company has real revenue ($1M+ ARR typical), proven product-market fit, and is raising a meaningful round. We filter out the noise so you don't have to.

02

Peer-Quality Audience

Limited to 25–30 accredited investors per event. You'll be in the room with independent PMs, family office principals, and active angels—people you'll want to know.

03

Meaningful Conversations

Every seat is held for investors actively evaluating opportunities. The intimate format ensures substantive dialogue—founders get real feedback, investors get genuine access.

About

Who We Are

Why We Started This

After years of attending investor conferences — and hearing the same feedback from both sides — a pattern became clear. Investors were tired of crowded rooms and superficial conversations. Companies were frustrated pitching to disengaged audiences.

So we built something different. Intimate, curated rooms where serious investors meet quality companies. No sponsors. No exhibit halls. No name tags. Just real conversation over a good meal.

The Team

We're a small group with complementary backgrounds spanning investment, marketing, and technology. Between us, we've built companies and organized hundreds of private events in Toronto's investment community.

We stay behind the scenes so the room can focus on what matters — the companies presenting and the investors evaluating them.
