Startupfest is the largest startup event in Canada. Founded in 2011, it has become the annual gathering at which entrepreneurs, investors, makers, large enterprises, industry veterans, and startup communities chart the course of technology entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The unique, informal format, set in one of the world\u2019s most iconic cities, tackles the entire lifecycle of new venture creation, from the spark of an idea to the final signature on acquisition or the ringing bell of an IPO. Attendees leave with four days of world-class content; fresh connections; back-of-the-napkin ideas; and the allure of champagne-popping exits.<\/p>\n

The festival is more than just great content and global attendees, however. Over the years, we\u2019ve earned a reputation for rethinking the standard event formats\u2014from panels of Grandmother Judges, to Tent Villages that encourage networking around relevant themes, and elevator pitches in actual elevators, we combine aspirational keynotes with hands-on practicality and a healthy dose of irreverence.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re taking over a brand new venue in 2018, building Startupfest\u2019s largest village yet- accessible by boat (among other modes of transportation).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THE HISTORY<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Startupfest began when Montreal\u2019s grass-roots startup event outgrew its humble beginnings. Founder, Philippe Telio, sought to make Montreal a global destination in all facets of entrepreneurship. The first event saw over 1,100 founders, funders, and businesses of all sizes attend.<\/p>\n

Today, Startupfest is a nonprofit that continues to expand, bringing in over 5,500 attendees and 150 speakers from dozens of countries around the world, and turning Montreal into the place to gather with the entirety of the tech community for one week every July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
