Events

STIRR Canada hosts regular invitation-only events for STIRR members designed for early stage high-tech entrepreneurs, founding teams and funders.

Check out the STIRR Upcoming Events Calendar for dates and times.

FOUNDERS’ TABLES

At our Founders’ Table dinners we host 10-15 early-stage and senior high-tech entrepreneurs for a working dinner to discuss top-of-line business challenges and forge relationships. The STIRR Canada team serves as moderator, and the discussions are focused on helping each other succeed.

These are limited space events, held no more than once a month in participating Canadian cities. Let us know if you are a founding high-tech entrepreneur and are interested in building a peer group of other entrepreneurs.

TECH MIXERS

Designed for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs, our Tech Mixer events are like the hallway of a good tech conference: 90% great conversation and relevant networking, peppered with 20 minutes of dynamic content at each event. Get ready for a unique combination of on-your-feet networking mixed in with lightning-fast attention-grabbing hacks and pitches.

STIRR’s focus is helping the founding teams of early stage startups. We feel that there’s no better support network for entrepreneurs than other entrepreneurs with going concerns. Each Tech Mixer also provides an opportunity for early stage companies to demo their product to peers, angels, VCs and press.

Some of the popular STIRR Tech Mixer fast-paced presentations you can expect to see:

  • Founder Hacks - pages from the unwritten playbook
  • 60-Second Pitches - one minute of fame for your startup
  • Test-Drive Demos - try out new technology with the founders
  • and more!
