Toronto Tech Week

Toronto Tech Week is a weeklong citywide collection of events with a shared purpose to connect and celebrate builders, startups, and companies in the tech community. This is not a traditional conference – it’s an open platform for anyone to join or host events to globally showcase Toronto as a city where anything is possible.

Golden is proud to be a Founding Partner of Toronto Tech Week, with Ameet Shah and Julia Baird serving as co-organizers, supporting the vision and execution of this exciting initiative.

The Underground Female Founders Collective

The Underground Collective is a private brunch series created by founders for founders – who just happen to be female. You can think about it like the anti-social social club for leading founders. No performative actions, no checking boxes, just f*cking good founders and operators coming together to connect, share best practices, and deepen relationships.

With the help of a few of our incredible portfolio founders – Nuha, Co-founder & CEO of Erthos, Emily, Founder & CEO of Rebelstork, and Shelby, Founder & CEO of Arteria AI – We’re building THE event series that female founders and operators actually want.
