STARTUPFEST The most fun you'll have building your startup
The theme for 2025: Ambition+Every startup is a disagreement with the status quo. In the hands of a founder, that disagreement becomes ambition: A desire to conquer a market. But just as seeing a mountaintop isn't enough to scale its heights, it takes more than ambition to challenge norms and unseat incumbents.
“It’s like a music festival, but for startups.”Alexis Ohanian, Co-founder at Reddit
For Startups - For Investors - For Partners!!.🗓️ 9th - 11th July 2025 | �� Montréal
