Founder brief

Who should attend

Early-stage founders seeking direct investor feedback will get the most value here. Entrepreneurs eager to watch live pitches, study how judges evaluate ideas, and connect with fellow Toronto startup operators over food should also consider attending.

What happens

Attendees gather over pizza at 18:00 before the main pitch block begins at 18:30. Up to six selected founders give two-and-a-half-minute pitches, followed directly by questions and critique from the investor panel. The program winds down with open networking until 21:00.

Who's in the room

Pitching entrepreneurs, angel investors, and venture capitalists evaluating local deal flow populate the gathering. The Hustle Fund Events team anchors the space alongside builders from across the broader Toronto ecosystem.

How to prepare

Keep your pitch concise and strictly under the two-and-a-half-minute cutoff, focusing on the core problem, your traction, and your market size. Prepare clear answers for investor scrutiny regarding your business model, and confirm your registration details on the event page before arriving.
