Vintage & Venture: Speakeasy Cocktail After-Party

About this event

In partnership with Leyton and Easly. Low lighting, a well-curated bar, and a room full of the people shaping Toronto’s next chapter. Vintage & Venture presents a speakeasy-style cocktail reception at 520 Cafe Bar – a relaxed event designed to allow founders, investors, and senior operators to connect at their own pace. Officially part of Elevate Festival, this evening is designed to foster meaningful conversations, not small talk. Who'll be in the room? Investors (Angel, VC, PE, and beyond) Founders across early, growth, and scaling stages C-suite executives and senior operators from established companies What to expectThere's no stage and no formal agenda – just a well-connected room and the kinds of unhurried, one-on-one conversations that are hard to have anywhere else. Expect a curated crowd, hosted drinks, and enough space to talk business without the crowds, noise, or rushed introductions.
