✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

Summit Day

What is your dress code?

This event will be in an upscale venue at the National Arts Centre. We recommend business casual attire.

As an entrepreneur, will I have opportunities to connect with investors?

Our summit is meticulously designed to foster meaningful connections, offering all delegates a unique platform to expand their network. Groundbreaker discussions on Day One are a great way to do this, alongside casual collisions throughout the event.

Can I pitch my company to investors?

For all participants we follow a non-solicitation policy. Instead, we encourage you to share stories about your projects, your passions, and your visions for the future. This strategy is rooted in the belief that the fruitful relationships flourish on a foundation of trust, which is built gradually through sincere and ongoing dialogue.

This policy is informed by two decades of experience in creating these enriching environments for investors, entrepreneurs and champions. With a membership of 4,000 investors who have collectively invested $1.54 billion in more than 2,000 entrepreneurial companies, we have experience enabling meaningful connections that drive impact.

What if a session has no seating?

We recommend arriving early for the sessions you’re most excited about. Seating will fill up fast.
