Demo Day (formerly Startup Showcase) is McGill Ventures' flagship event of the fall semester. It brings together student founders, early users, and investors from Montreal's startup and VC community. Selected startups will each give a five-minute live demo, built to be engaging and interactive, followed by a Q&A with the audience. Later in the evening, founders will join VCs on a panel about building and funding early-stage companies. Whether you're a founder, an investor, or a student curious about startups, come see what's being built at McGill and meet the people building it. Note: A raffle ticket is included with the purchase of each event ticket, giving you a chance to win a prize at the event! Founders: applications are open! Want to put your startup in front of students, users and VCs? Apply here: https://forms.gle/bbiuTp28ZFaURGweA Speakers and partners will be announced soon!

Closing the gap between academia and the VC ecosystem. This year, with trivia. GradConnect is back! This year, Front Row Ventures and BoxOne Ventures are trading panels and roundtables for a trivia night. Grad students, founders and investors will team up over questions on startups, science and Montreal, then stay to keep the conversation going. 🎲 How it works Teams are randomized when you arrive, so you’ll be playing alongside grad students, founders and investors you haven’t met.
