If you know, you know.

Harbour behind you, sun dropping over the water, AI lights moving overhead, and 600 of the people building Canadian tech on the patio with you.

May 27. Bobby Bermuda’s Sunset Bar. Tech Week’s night out.

Wealthsimple’s rolling in with a money grab machine (yes, real cash flying) and giveaways. And our partners Tre’dish, Sage, Motion (Creative Analytics) and 7shifts are in the mix.

Food and a drink with every ticket. They’re going fast. Link in bio!

This one’s for you if you’re:

→ Building in fintech and not sure if embedded finance is a moat or noise
→ Trying to read where Canadian consumer payments are actually going
→ Raising and want to know what investors are writing cheques for right now vs. passing on

Three hours on consumer payments, embedded finance, personal finance, and vertical fintech. Market-setting opening, founder perspectives from emerging companies, and a featured fireside deep dive co-hosted with Affirm.

Joining us:

Wayne Pommen - Chief Revenue Officer at Affirm. Built PayBright from 5 people to 250 and into one of Canada’s leading fintechs before Affirm acquired it.

Alex Norman - General Partner at N49P. Sitting across from Wayne in the fireside, asking the questions you’d want asked.

Jane Podbelskaya - Founder of Charge Forward. Ten+ years in venture at Georgian and Information Venture Partners before going operator. Now supports vertical SaaS and AI platforms on how to actually embed payments, lending, card issuing, and banking.

Ricky Lai - General Partner at Portage Ventures. Invests in early-stage fintech globally and sits closest to the Canadian portfolio - KOHO, Wealthsimple, Nesto, Clark…to name a few. Will share the honest investor read on what’s fundable in this category right now.
