It’s time for another episode of the TechTO ‘Elevator Pitch Series’

We visit the NextCanada offices and get pitched by their top startups as we ride the elevator 18 floors.

In today’s episode, we chat with Jai Mansukhani, Co-Founder at OpenSesame.

Curious to learn more about what they do? Check out the full pitch.

Interested in testing it out? Check them out at www.opensesame.dev or book a call with Jai.

Jai will also be speaking at our Together Toronto event on February 3. It’s a great opportunity to meet him in real life and learn more about how he is building.

Want to pitch us next? Reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll make it happen!

Stay tuned for new episodes of our Elevator pitch series in 2025. We will be dropping them across social and in our Thursday newsletter!

COMMUNITY

In this section, we want to highlight and celebrate the cool news and achievements of our fellow community. Celebrating that hard work and dedication does pay off.

We are looking back at a past TechTO speaker, Kazi Ahmed (now CEO) of Carbon6. Carbon6 has recently made headlines after it was acquired by SPS Commerce, Inc. a leading retail supply chain cloud service.

Before this news, Carbon6 was busy building and gaining massive traction, but not without facing their own set of challenges. Kazi was candid in sharing what it took to build something in an extremely tough market, and the import takeaways he has for other founders. Check it out.

Read more about the acquisition news and plans for the future below. We’re excited to see what happens next.
