RECAP 📰

Last night, we were joined by a sold out City Hall crowd to celebrate the Best Of The Best in Canadian Tech.

With presentations from Michael Katchen (Wealthsimple), Rob Khazzam (Float), Jennifer Arnold (Minerva), Rae Jeong (Maneva) and Dan Park (Clutch) — we learned the highs and lows of their journey’s, advice for the future builders in tech, and their “why” behind starting a business.

Check out a few highlights from some of our attendees:

One thing that stood out to us, was the emphasis of community and why today’s Founders need to lean into it.

As Michael Katchen mentioned, “if there was ever a time when we needed to rally as a country, and build more great things here, it is now”.

Dan Park also shared some inspiring words on building in Canada and what it means to be part of a tech community.

More photos and updates from the night, coming soon! Make sure you lock in your spot for the next upcoming TechTO events: www.techto.org/events
