🔥Toronto Founder Walk #8 - Come walk with people building interesting things

💡The easy way to meet and talk with other intelligent builders and founders. Most events are designed around meeting more people. We're experimenting with the opposite. A small group. A walk. A few thoughtful prompts. Enough time to actually talk to the people you meet. After running the first few Toronto Founder Walks, one thing surprised us: Smaller groups may actually create better conversations. People who joined our last walk told us the experience felt more casual, more personal and easier to remember than being in a room with 50-100 strangers. One attendee described it as feeling almost like “a bunch of friends hanging out.” Another told us the smaller format creates a deeper, more authentic connection. That's exactly what we're trying to build. What happens? We bring together a small mix of founders, entrepreneurs, professionals, creators and people building something interesting. No speeches. No speed networking. No 30-second pitches. No trying to collect as many LinkedIn contacts as possible. We start with a few introductions, then walk in smaller conversations and rotate naturally along the way. There are also a few conversation prompts during the walk so you don't spend the whole event asking: “So... what do you do?” Some conversations will be about business. Others might be about AI, travel, music, careers, something someone is building-or something completely unexpected. That's part of the point. 📅Sunday schedule 🕑4:45 PM - Arrival / check-inCome anytime between 4:45-5:00 so you're settled before introductions. 🕑5:00 PM - Introductions + opening prompt 🕑5:15 PM - We start walking 🕑Around 6:15 PM - Official walk ends Some of us may grab something to eat or drink afterward. You're welcome to join. Running late? Don't abandon the event just because you're 10 or 15 minutes behind. Approved attendees can join the event WhatsApp group, where we'll share live location updates once the walk begins, so you can catch up with us. Who is this for? Entrepreneurs.Founders.Business owners.Professionals.Creators.People exploring something new. You don't need an impressive title. You do need to be curious about other people. Small by design We review registrations because the mix of people matters. Give us enough information to understand who you are, what you're working on and what you'd enjoy talking about. Come curious. Be useful. No hard selling. A few things that make these walks work Don't hard sell.Nobody wants to discover halfway through a walk that they've accidentally entered someone's sales funnel. Talk to someone you don't know.If you already know a few people, help bring someone new into the conversation. If you register, show up.We're intentionally keeping these walks small. Be curious. Be useful.Good conversations go both ways. Small by design We're keeping the first walks to around 10–12 people. That's enough variety to meet someone unexpected, but small enough that you can actually talk. If this one fills up, join the waitlist. We're planning to make these a regular Sunday thing. 🌦 Weather A little rain won't necessarily stop us.
