Founder & Funder Lounge at The Futurist Conference

Founder & Funder Lounge takes place on Wednesday, July 22, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM during Blockchain Futurist Conference.

Hosted by InclusifAI in partnership with Innovation Factory, the lounge is an application-based ecosystem session for founders, investors, financial institutions, government funding organizations, accelerators, corporate partners, and innovation leaders.

The format centers on a Reverse Pitch, where participating organizations present who they are, what they support, current funding or partnership opportunities, and how founders can engage. Instead of founders pitching first, the session gives funding and ecosystem organizations the opportunity to explain what they are looking for and how they work with startups.

After the Reverse Pitch, participants continue through curated networking designed to support introductions, funding conversations, partnerships, and collaboration across Canada’s innovation ecosystem. Participation is subject to approval, with limited capacity and confirmation details shared by the InclusifAI team.
