Pender Ventures is thrilled to be partnering with Startupfest again this year to present GPFest, a half day of content for venture capital investors on July 11 in Montreal. As in prior years, GPFest’s content will be organized around the three main phases of the venture capital life cycle – fundraising, investing and exits, or as we like to put it: “get the money, invest the money, return the money”.
We have a stellar group of speakers for this year’s event from across Canada and the US. Our keynote, Peter Walker, Head of Insights at Carta, is one of the most informative commentators on venture capital trends today. We also have a number of high impact panels including:
- Institutional fundraising with LPs from InBC, Desjardins, Teralys and GPs from Luge and Pender Ventures
- Emerging managers showcase hosted by CMD Capital with Front Row Ventures, Simple Ventures, Storytime Capital and Devcap
- Community first sourcing featuring N49P, HustleFund, and Real Ventures
- Generative AI hot takes from Innospark, Omers, Georgian, and GenLab
- Portfolio management with Diagram, TandemLaunch, McRock and NAVentures
We run GPFest because we love to give back, to build community, to discuss the craft of investing and to contribute to the good vibes of Startupfest. We are grateful to be able to work with so many awesome speakers and look forward to connecting with old friends and meeting new ones at the event. GPFest requires a Startupfest ticket.
