Lunch and Learn: Making An Impact With Your Startup
Date and time
Location
Communitech Hub - Charles Xavier Room (3rd Floor)
151 Charles Street West, Suite 100 Kitchener, ON N2G 1H6 CanadaDescription
As a startup founder, your only focus is ensuring your business succeeds. It's easy to forget about or postpone, giving back to your ecosystem or society. Recently though, many successful founders are rethinking the stage at which they can begin giving back and starting to do this early in the life of their companies. It’s a very encouraging trend.
Join us for a lunch and learn about how embedding a social mission into your company at an early stage can be a low-risk major asset to your business. Hear from Angelique Mohring, Founder & CEO of GainX, Jaafer Haidar, Entrepreneur in Residence at Brightspark Ventures and Co-Founder of Socialseek and Marko Savic, Founder & CEO of FunnelCake, about their decision to pledge to give back to their business.
Lunch will be provided.
This event is hosted by The Upside Foundation of Canada.

Organized by
Communitech was founded in 1997 by a group of entrepreneurs who joined forces to help each other build successful companies. They saw the need for a community to help ensure the future prosperity of Canada, and Communitech was born.
Today, we are Canada’s tech supercharger. Still guided by a mission to help founders start, grow and succeed, we are a supportive community at every stage of the founder journey. We provide accelerated opportunities for startups, scale-ups and at-scale companies to access talent, capital and sales.
We help founders:
- hire and retain the smartest, brightest and most experienced team
- access growth financing at every stage
- sell to the biggest customers at home, and then around the world
- connect the right people at the right time – peers who have been there before, coaches who can guide them through the difficult spots and partners from all over Canada
