Join hundreds of entrepreneurs and small business owners in Toronto Dec. 14 for a full day of non-stop startup action during the Ontario stop on Startup Canada’s #EveryEntrepreneur Tour!
Startup Canada is travelling the country to provide on-site inspiration, mentorship, training and new opportunities to thousands of Canadian entrepreneurs as they start and grow their companies.
Registration includes a full day of non-stop action with an “un-conference” style program where business owners will hear from top entrepreneurs like Second Cup Co-Founder Frank O’Dea and Moxie Trades CEO Marissa McTasney. Entrepreneurs can also participate in bootcamp-style training sessions in areas such as finance, scaling, marketing and going global. Experts will also be on-hand for one-on-one mentorship and support, and organizations that provide training, funding and other opportunities to entrepreneurs will be available to connect entrepreneurs to a wider support network.
