Pitch Night Toronto: A $1M Fireside + Founder Feedback Live
Thu, Jul 23, 10:00 PMHow does a founder go from a Founder Institute idea to a $1M raise? Find out live. Join Founder Institute Toronto for an evening built around one thing: the real mechanics of building and funding a startup. Toronto FI Leader Sunil Sharma sits with Vadym Sydorenko, Founder & CEO of SmartphoneKey — an FI Toronto graduate now raising a $1M round at a $10M valuation, with the first $200K already wired. In an unscripted fireside interview, they'll dig into the raise itself: how Vadym built investor conviction, what the deal actually looks like, the product traction behind it, and the lessons every founder in the room can use. In the second half, founders from the audience take the stage to pitch, and get direct, candid feedback. **❯ Who should Attend?** * Anyone who wants feedback from leading entrepreneurs * Anyone who has an early-stage startup and wants expert feedback * Anyone who has an idea for a startup or a tech company * Anyone who needs practice and expert advice on pitching **❯ Who Pitches?** * We will be selecting people from the audience to pitch, and will do as many as time allows. To prepare, work on your one sentence pitch at [https://fi.co/one-sentence-pitch](https://fi.co/one-sentence-pitch). ### Spectators are welcome! Even if you don't want to pitch, you are invited to register, hear startup ideas, and watch how the experts analyze and critique new businesses. **❯❯ This is an in-person event, so be sure to RSVP at [https://fi.co/e/395008/meetup](https://fi.co/e/395008/meetup) to secure your spot and receive further details.**
