The Startup Train is back this summer to whisk attendees from Toronto to Montréal so they can arrive in style for Startupfest 2024.
The Startup Train, run in partnership with TD and Fasken, offers festival attendees from the Greater Toronto Area a one-way, business-class VIA Rail journey to Montréal.
BetaKit has your hookup to both Startupfest and the Startup Train.
During the five-hour journey, passengers will have the opportunity to network with corporate staffers, mentors, investors, and founders through a series of curated meetings and lively conversations. As in years past, BetaKit will also be on board this year’s Startup Train.
BetaKit is also a proud Startupfest media partner, and Startupfest is a member of BetaKit’s Innovation Leaders program.
The Startup Train is celebrating its 10th anniversary, coinciding with Startupfest’s 14th edition, which is set to take place from July 10th to 12th in Montréal’s Old Port. The annual gathering brings together founders, investors, and key players in the startup community to connect and engage with the ecosystem. This year’s event features an array of speakers, mentors, and industry experts, each ready to provide attendees with unique insights.
Startupfest has already revealed some of its speaker lineup for the 2024 festival, including Paper’s Phil Cutler, Highline Beta’s Marcus Daniels, BKR Capital’s Lise Birikundavyi, and Humi’s Kevin Kliman.
