Desjardins Launchpad for Entrepreneurs 2.0 – TTW Launch Event
The next level starts now.
Join us for the debut of the next phase of Desjardins' Launchpad for Entrepreneurs and join us as we celebrate three remarkable years of entrepreneurial success between Desjardins and DMZ.
Headlining the evening is Allen Lau, co-founder of Wattpad – the Canadian storytelling platform that grew to over 90 million users worldwide before its US$660M acquisition. Now a founding partner at Two Small Fish Ventures, he invests in the next frontier of computing and backs early-stage tech startups.
Allen will share the hard-won lessons and top skills he needed as an entrepreneur – and what he looks for today when investing in founders with bold ideas and global ambition.
Connect with DMZ alumni, partners, and the wider startup community as we launch the next chapter of Launchpad – built to support even bigger dreams.
We are officially part of Toronto Tech Week, a weeklong citywide collection of events to connect and celebrate the builders. June 23 → June 27, 2025 | torontotechweek.com
