ALL THE DETAILS FROM STARTUP FEST 🔥

Day One of StartupFest has been a huge success! From our iconic bus ride up to a day and evening filled with great conversations and connections.

We’re loving taking TechTO on the road and seeing how the tech ecosystem is thriving across Canada.

ICYMI — We officially announced our Montreal Rocketships List

If you’re not sure what the Rocketships List is, we ask the community, VC’s and others across tech, to nominate the companies that are quickly taking careers to the moon. AKA the companies you want to work for.

Congrats again to Flare, Dessn, Stay22, Arvo AI, Puzzle Medical Devices, Zaddons, Maket.AI, and AssistIQ for being selected.

Our final stop on our National Tour will end in Toronto in October, where we will unveil the FULL LIST. Nominate your top companies from your city here.

A massive perk of making the list, not just bragging rights, you also get to feature your companies open roles on our Job Board, for FREE.
