LOI Labs Batch 14 Showcase Event
Save the date: May 22th at 3pm PST.
Come one come all for a Founder Showcase like no other! Over the previous 12 weeks, 85 of Canada's top young entrepreneurs have taken part in LOI's flagship Labs program and taken tremendous strides along their entrepreneurial journey. Today, we celebrate their dedication, work ethic and all they've accomplished through the program!
Through the free Labs acceleration program, they've had the chance to learn from and connect with some of the ecosystem's top founders, LOI alumni, and our community partners. They've participated in nearly 40 live sessions, honing their entrepreneurial expertise in problem and customer discovery, funding pathways, marketing, founder mental health and more.
The LOI team has chosen 7 founders to pitch today. These founders have embraced the learnings of the Labs program and will not only be showcasing their ventures but also representing Labs Batch 14.
