Reverse Pitch - HealthTech Edition
YSpace, in partnership with the Vaughan Economic Development and powered by York Region, is excited to invite you to Reverse Pitch: HealthTech Edition
At the Reverse Pitch: HealthTech Edition, investors take the stage to share what they’re looking for in the next big innovation. Instead of founders pitching for funding, investors will pitch to you—highlighting their focus areas, investment criteria, and portfolio companies.
After the pitches, connect directly with investors, industry leaders, and fellow founders in a high-impact networking session designed to spark new partnerships and insights.
