International Entrepreneur Meetup: Founder Focus
Whether you’re building your first startup or you’ve already weathered a few storms, this is your chance to connect with fellow founders, learn from expert advisors across key industries, and maybe even find your next collaborator. Expect lively conversations, a relaxed vibe, and plenty of inspiration to fuel your next big move.
Grab a snack, pull up a chair, and let’s get real about the ups and downs of building something from scratch. Hosted by Invest in Hamilton in partnership with FirstOntario Credit Union, this isn’t your average networking event—it’s a celebration of bold ideas and the people behind them. See you there!
