About this event
Canada's fastest-growing tech companies are going on tour. Vancouver is stop one.
TechTO Rocketships kicks off May 11 in Vancouver. From there, the tour rolls through Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Waterloo, Atlantic Canada, and Calgary. The finale lands back in Toronto at City Hall on December 1.
Nominated by leading Canadian VCs and the local startup community, these are the companies scaling fast, solving meaningful problems, and taking careers to the moon. At each tour stop, VCs take the stage for 60 seconds to introduce their pick. Then the founder takes the mic for three minutes. Real stories, real traction, real asks. A true celebration of Canadian momentum.
Every company featured on the tour lands on the shortlist for the annual Canadian Rocketships List. It's TechTO's yearly roundup of the high-velocity startups that top talent and investors watch most closely.
After the main show, stay for the Web Summit Social. We're bringing together 300+ of Canada's most ambitious builders, investors, and industry leaders in a relaxed setting. Mingle with the people you want to meet.
Whether you're building, investing, or scouting your next bet, this is your chance to tap into Vancouver's tech ecosystem at full energy.
