REMARKS FROM SIR TERRY MATTHEWS

Our L-SPARK concept for a somewhat more relaxed summer PitchFest for key investors has proven

extremely popular. An influential, invite-only crowd, from Canada and the US, networking in a unique

environment and learning about impressive new tech start-ups. What a great way to explore your

next SaaS deal flow.

This report shares some of the latest details. I hope we will see you next summer.

You won’t be disappointed…

RATING OF EVENT

4.3/5INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS. Would like to see how the companies fare within the next year

EXCEPTIONAL. The venues were all well-chosen, and the structure of the events made for ideal opportunities to chat and re-connect with friends and colleagues.

LOTS OF NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES , pre-boat lodge, on the boat, walk to the event, walk from the event, on the boat again, upstairs at the lodge. That was good.

Great event and venue, HIGH QUALITY PITCHES, well prepared entrepreneurs, Invite only event made the group very relevant.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS EVENT and for drive from West side of Toronto (3.5hrs) each way in what is a pretty long day trip! I believe well worth the drive. The community feeling on the boat is something I haven’t experienced in other networking opportunities making this very productive.

THANK YOU SEAN STANLEIGH FROM THE GLOBE & MAIL FOR MCING
