Where to build, when to partner, when to sell, what happens to your edge when AI lets incumbents build it in-house, how to earn trust in Canada's most regulated markets - you won't find these answers in a deck. Hear them straight from founders, clinicians, and operators who've spent years making these exact calls. **You'll leave with:** * Real conversations with founders navigating regulation, funding, and clinical trust * Practical insights you can use before your next fundraise or launch * A room of 200+ tech professionals building in Canada's healthcare space 📅 Monday\, September 28 \| 6PM\- 9PM 📍 GreenShield Toronto 🎟️ Paid event \- tickets required \| Free for TechTO Members **Register via Luma:** [https://luma.com/health-toronto-september-28-2026](https://luma.com/health-toronto-september-28-2026)

**🚩Important: Meetup RSVP ≠ confirmed spot** **Keep your Meetup RSVP as Going so the event stays visible here. You will get link to a short application after you RSVP.** A lot of people in this group work with entrepreneurs every day — or are entrepreneurs themselves. Agency owners, marketers, consultants, freelancers, creators, startup founders and business owners often end up at the same conferences and seminars... …but don't necessarily get much time to actually know one another. So instead of another marketing presentation, we're trying something simpler: \# 🚶 Toronto Founder Walk A casual Sunday walk along Toronto's Harbourfront where entrepreneurs, marketers and business owners can meet through natural conversation. No slides. No speakers. No sales presentation. No forced networking exercises. Just: **Walk. Talk. Meet someone interesting.** \#\#\# The idea I've been involved with entrepreneur and community events in Toronto since 2016, and this new series grew out of the **18,000-member Toronto Entrepreneurs & Start-ups Facebook community**. One thing I've noticed over the years is that the best connections rarely come from exchanging as many business cards as possible. They usually happen when you spend enough time talking to someone to discover: \> “Oh\, this person actually thinks about things in an interesting way\.” That's what we're trying to create. 📍Meetup Location: Simcoe Wavedeck sign **📅Sunday schedule** **🕛4:45 PM — Arrive / check in** **🕛5:00 PM — Introductions** Tell us who you are, what you're working on and one interesting way you're using—or want to use—AI. **🕛5:15 PM — Walk begins** We'll rotate conversations and introduce a few AI discussion prompts along the route. **🕛Around 6:15 PM — Official finish** Many stay afterwards to network. Some people may grab food or a drink afterward. **🏃Running late?** Don't give up on coming. Approved guests can join our Sunday Walk WhatsApp group. Once we're moving, we'll share our live location so late arrivals can catch up. We'll help make introductions at the start, but this is intentionally informal. Possible conversations might include: * What's actually working in marketing right now? * Growing an agency or service business * AI and automation * Customer acquisition * Entrepreneurship * Building a personal brand * Sales * Hiring * What you're currently working on * Or something completely unrelated to work You don't have to talk marketing for 75 minutes. The activity is simply there to make meeting people easier. \#\#\# Who this is for Especially relevant for: * Entrepreneurs * Agency owners * Digital marketers * Consultants * Freelancers * Creators * Startup founders * Business owners * Growth and marketing professionals You don't need to sell marketing services. You just need to be genuinely interested in meeting other people who build, market or operate businesses. \#\#\# What this is NOT This is not: * A lead-generation mixer * A seminar * A pitching session * A place to aggressively collect prospects If your main objective is to distribute business cards to everyone, this probably isn't the right event. If you'd enjoy meeting a few thoughtful people and seeing where the conversation goes, it probably is. \#\#\# ☕ Optional afterward We'll finish the formal walk around 6:15 PM. Anyone who wants can continue for coffee, food or a drink nearby. \#\#\# 🎟 How to reserve your spot **Meetup RSVP does not confirm attendance.** Please register through Luma: 👉 [https://superr.ca/mmevents](https://superr.ca/mmevents) We keep the walks relatively small, so please release your spot if your plans change. \#\#\# 📱 Future events For first notice of upcoming casual entrepreneur events, join **TES Social on WhatsApp**: 👉 **[https://biz1.ca/wa](https://biz1.ca/wa)** Upcoming formats may include: * Founder walks * Small dinners * Breakfasts * Marketing/AI discussions * Sports * Wellness * Social activities \#\#\# 🙌 Want to host or contribute? We're looking for people interested in: * Hosting * Co-hosting * Photography * Video * Reels * Venue partnerships * Activities * Event support 👉 **[https://superr.ca/host](https://biz1.ca/host)** Come curious. Leave the pitch at home. Hopefully meet someone worth seeing again. #DigitalMarketingToronto #TorontoEntrepreneurs #FounderWalk #MarketingCommunity #TESSocial ***📸Photo, Video & Audio Notice:*** *By registering for or attending this event, you acknowledge that photos, video and audio recordings may be captured during the event.

**This is a paid event. You must register and have a ticket to attend.** 👉 **[Together Toronto and YC Winter 2027 (W27) Application Session](https://luma.com/together-toronto-october-2026)** **Together Toronto - the stories behind how companies actually get built here.** The stories that actually shape how companies get built in this city rarely make it onto a stage. This one's different. Together Toronto is TechTO's signature gathering for founders, operators, builders, and investors who want more than inspiration - they want the real playbook. Real founders. Honest conversations about what it took to launch, scale, and survive Toronto's tech scene. Whether you're building your first company, scaling a team, or figuring out what's next - this is the event worth showing up for. **You'll leave with:** * Founder stories with the specifics left in * Connections with the people building what's next * Conversations that challenge how you think about your own company 📅 Monday\, Oct 5\| 6PM\- 9PM 📍 Downtown Toronto 🎟️ Paid event \- tickets required \| Free for TechTO Members **Register via Luma:** [https://luma.com/together-toronto-october-2026](https://luma.com/together-toronto-october-2026)

**🚩Important: Meetup RSVP ≠ confirmed spot** **Keep your Meetup RSVP as Going so the event stays visible here. You will get link to a short application after you RSVP.** **🔥What if networking was just going for a walk with interesting people?** I've seen a lot of people in this group saying they want to meet more founders and business owners — but without another formal networking event. I've been organizing entrepreneur and community events in Toronto since 2016, and after seeing the response from the **18,000-member Toronto Entrepreneurs & Startups community**, I thought we'd try something much simpler. **Toronto Founder Walk** **Sunday · 4:45 PM · Harbourfront** About 75 minutes walking along the waterfront with a small group of founders, entrepreneurs and business owners. That's basically it. No presentations. No name tags. No awkward networking exercises. No hard selling. Just walk, talk and hopefully meet **one or two people you'd actually want to see again.** We're keeping the first one small while we figure out what works. 🚩Meetup Location: Simcoe Wavedeck sign **📅Sunday schedule** **🕛4:45 PM — Arrive / check in** **🕛5:00 PM — Introductions** Tell us who you are, what you're working on and one interesting way you're using—or want to use—AI. **🕛5:15 PM — Walk begins** We'll rotate conversations and introduce a few AI discussion prompts along the route. **🕛Around 6:15 PM — Official finish** Many stay afterwards to network.
