Cash & Candor: The Startupfest Investor Panel

Join us for an unfiltered conversation about the harsh realities of today's venture landscape—from Canada's notorious capital conservatism to the painful correction happening across tech. Our investors will spill the tea on what's really happening behind closed partner meetings, which metrics actually matter in 2025, and why that warm intro you worked so hard for probably won't save you. Come armed with your toughest questions because unlike your last pitch meeting, these VCs won't dodge them with vague feedback about "needing more traction."
