Our first Founder Lab Demo Day in Toronto did exactly what it was built to do: bring venture-ready founders into the room with capital. 👏🏼

After nine weeks of capital readiness, the latest Founder Lab cohort stepped onto the stage at Road to the Summit Toronto to present the companies they’re building and the markets they’re shaping.

Technology. Health. Consumer innovation. Climate.

Different industries. Different journeys. One thing in common: preparation.

This is what readiness looks like. 👏🏼

The next generation of women raising capital and building companies is already here.

And they’re just getting started.

A strong start matters.

Our winter Founder Lab cohort is officially underway, and the room is full. Founders have come together ready to do the real work 👉🏼clarifying strategy, sharpening their capital narrative, and approaching fundraising with intention.

This kickoff is more than a beginning. It’s a signal. A signal that preparation is in motion, ambition is focused, and capital conversations are happening with discipline and confidence.

Founder Lab is where readiness takes shape.
Where founders move from possibility to precision. Where capital strategy becomes clear, credible, and founder-led.

As our winter cohort moves forward, we’re opening applications for the next group of founders ready to step in.

🗓️ Spring Founder Lab applications are open
⏳ Application deadline: January 30
