Koru Presents: De-Risking Innovation with Toronto’s Venture Studio Leaders
Have you ever wondered how new startup ideas go from “pie in the sky” concept to fully investable business plan? The world of venture studio building is all about operationalizing innovation - focusing on validating or invalidating ideas rapidly and cost-effectively.
Join us downtown Toronto on Wednesday, December 4th at 5:30-7:30PM for a panel discussion where we bring in leaders across Toronto’s top venture studios for an engaging conversation on venture idea validation. Panelists will include Koru, Simple Ventures, Highline Beta, and more - where they’ll share what their unique approaches to market testing are, what signals they look for, and how they decide whether to pursue or kill a venture idea.
The event is open to the public, with an expected audience of entrepreneurs, startup and venture studios, VCs, corporate innovators, and students.
