Payments in Practice event Payments don't usually break all at once. They fail quietly, through fees, FX leakage, reconciliation gaps, and lost conversion.
As companies scale across markets, "good enough" payments stop being good enough.
Yesterday's Payments in Practice: What Breaks When You Scale Globally workshop and roundtable dinner dug into:
• Where payments typically fail
• What strong systems look like at different stages
• How to avoid costly rebuilds later
Thank you to Steve Brar EVP, CIO& CTO (Payments) at Metrolinx , for sharing real-world lessons from operating payments at scale, practical, candid, and incredibly valuable.
And thank you to Airwallex for contributing to the conversation and helping bring practical insights on building modern global payment infrastructure.
Great conversations, sharp questions, and honest insights from operators building across markets.
Last night at OneEleven ⚡️
The 111 Pitch Showcase Demo Day was in full swing.
After opening remarks, four standout founders took the stage to share the bold visions shaping their next chapter.
In five focused minutes each, they made it clear what they’re looking for: capital, talent, and strategic customers ready to grow with them.
Featuring:
Stephanie Loureiro — Speer
Simon Bourgeois — Nmbr
@JamesYurichuk — @WuxlyMovement
Warren Patterson — @OrderEase
Strong operators. Big ambition. Real traction in the room.
We captured founder highlights and behind-the-scenes moments, stay tuned for more from an incredible night. 🚀
Raising Capital, Building Teams, Scaling Vision
Ivan Tsarynny, Founder of @FerootSecurity, sits down with Myron M. from Dentons for a candid fireside chat on what it really takes to build and grow a company.
From raising capital and juggling every role in the early days to evolving into a strategic leader as the company scales, Ivan shares hard-earned lessons, practical insights, and the mindset shifts founders need to navigate each stage of growth.
A must-attend conversation for entrepreneurs, operators, and investors looking to turn vision into velocity and growth into long-term impact.

Yesterday marked National App Day, we're celebrating Canadian-made apps that are scaling from our ecosystem to the world.
From youth sports fundraising with FlipGive, to continuing professional development with LumiQ, to micromobility fleets powered by Joyride, to fintech leaders like Wealthsimple and KOHO that have reshaped how Canadians manage their money from their phones, these products show what is possible when Canadian teams build for global users.
These products were built by founders, product leaders, and engineers who have called OneEleven home at different stages of their journey, leveraging our community as a launchpad to test, ship, and scale.
We want to shine a light on even more apps that were made in Canada. Which Canadian-made apps do you use most often and why? Comment below and tag the team or founder 👇
