Built for early-stage founders in real estate & construction.

A high-impact program for early-stage entrepreneurs building proptech or contech startups — built to accelerate growth, sharpen your fundraising and customer pitches, and open the connections that actually move things forward. Ten hours, in-person, in downtown Toronto. No endless Zoom.

2026 COHORT ENDED — THANK YOU!

Not a sit-back-and-listen program. Built to be worked.

It's a highly interactive experience where the majority of your time is spent in small groups.

You'll be alongside peers building in similar spaces and learn from operators who've already been in your shoes.

We think the best way to learn and get the most from it is by coming prepared, asking questions, sharing context, and engaging in practical discussion — not by watching slides from the back of a room. Built specifically for tech founders in real estate and construction, the insights are sector-relevant and practical.

Your input shapes the program. We ask for your specific challenges in advance and design each session around what most founders in the room are actually navigating.

Thank you for a great 2026 cohort!

In-person session · 03

A candid founder AMA

Three experienced proptech founders got candid about their first customers, fundraising realities, and the internal challenges that don't make it into any press release — for the founders in the room navigating the exact same landscape.

Hear from founders who were in the room.
