Canada is the move

A Conversation for Ambitious Builders

You have heard the narrative. Want to build something big? Go to Silicon Valley. We disagree, and we have brought in some people who will tell you exactly why. 

Join the Faculty of Engineering and the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, for an evening with entrepreneurial Waterloo alumni and Chris Albinson, Managing Partner of the True North Fund, for a real conversation about why the most exciting place to build right now is right here in Canada. No rehearsed answers. Just honest talk from founders, like panellist Michael Litt, who said, "Hell no, we won't go." 

Following the discussion, there will be time to network with alumni.

Come curious. Leave inspired by what's possible right here in Canada.
