COMMUNITY

400 IN ATTENDANCE FOR OUR FIRST TOGETHER OF THE YEAR!!

We launched 2025 in a monumental way, uniting hundreds of builders, aspiring founders, investors, and the next wave of tech innovators in real life.

The evening featured invaluable insights, including: fundraising strategies from Alwar Pillai (CEO and Founder at Fable), winning as an entrepreneur at every stage with Eldon Sprickerhoff (legendary unicorn founder of eSentire), life after acquisition with Corey Gross (Co-Founder of Sensibill, a Q2 company), and the art of building with passion from Jackie Hanson (CEO and Co-Founder at Sprout Family).

Truly, there was something for everyone.

Missed it? Keep your eyes on BetaKit — a post-event debrief is coming this week!

Our Community Open Mic once again highlighted the trailblazing talent in Canadian tech, offering a glimpse into the innovative projects shaping the future. Ten bold visionaries from our audience took the stage to share their cutting-edge ideas, their ambitions, and the incredible work they’re building.

Ready to be part of the action? Join us at an upcoming event to share your perspective, connect with trailblazers, and collaborate with leaders who can help you achieve your goals.

Our next event in the calendar is on January 20 when we bring Commerce to life!
