Completing the Founder Institute pre-seed accelerator program is an honour. The four-month program is challenging and the expectations are demanding. Join us for the graduation of the latest Waterloo-Toronto Innovation Corridor cohort, where you can see an inspiring talk by Michael Katchen (Co-Founder and CEO of Wealthsimple) and pitch presentations from new Alumni.
Learn about some of the pre-seed companies that will go onto seed-accelerators, raise funding, and build the next great startups. There will also be an opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and celebrate the new Graduates.
