Siakam Edtech Engine Demo Day
Toronto, get ready!
You’re invited to one of the most high-energy, game-changing events in the EdTech space this year.
Join NBA champion Pascal Siakam, the PS43 Foundation and DMZ for the Siakam Edtech Engine Demo Day – a live pitch showdown where Canada’s next wave of EdTech disruptors will battle it out for up to $50K in funding.
This isn’t your average demo day – it’s a startup showcase meets fireside chat, featuring sharp pitches, real talk and big ideas that are transforming how we learn, teach, and lead in education.
What to Expect:
Startup Pitch Competition – Watch top-tier founders pitch to a panel of elite judges, investors & partners
Fireside Moment with Pascal Siakam – Hear why he’s betting big on EdTech and equity
Live audience energy – Real-time Q&A, big reactions and huge wins
Post-event networking – Connect with founders, investors, educators and the Toronto tech scene
From impact-driven innovation to incredible founder stories, this is where vision meets opportunity — and where the future of education takes center stage.
Come for the pitches. Stay for the magic. Leave inspired.
