RBCx Investor Breakfast- Is Venture Capital Dead? (Applications Open) 

Venture capital isn’t dead- it’s just evolving. Fast. As interest rates stay high, exits stay slow, and AI rewrites the rules, founders and investors alike are asking: what does smart capital look like now? 

Join four heavyweight voices shaping the future of Canadian tech investment as they cut through the noise and map out the path forward. From fund strategy and startup scrappiness to global trends and corporate capital, this investor breakfast will reveal how today’s investors are placing bets and how SaaS founders can still win big in a cautious market.
