Startupfest is all about going beyond the idea, beyond the dream, and the first step.

Startupfest is all about bridging ambition and action in a three-day celebration of challenging the status quo and treading the path less taken.

Introducing Startupfest 2025: Ambition+

[Josh @StewartVanDusen]

A key takeaway from @startupfest: 'The best companies secure funding from customers first.'

Too many startups rush into early funding, skewing their cap table dynamics and sacrificing too much equity too soon.

[Tribe Network @TribeNetwork_ca]

Earlier this month, the Tribe team was in Montreal for Startupfest. Our CEO, Alfred, served as Prize Manager and presented the @Repmatters $100K Black Entrepreneur Prize to @JunoTechnologies.

Thank you to the entire @Startupfest team for creating this meaningful experience.

[Josh @StewartVanDusen]

Something that I took away from Startupfest was the integration of Blockchain technology with AI.

I've never thought about the use of blockchain as a method to bring fundamental values to AI.

Thanks for the incredible talk @Tjido!
