The Investors’ Breakfast

AGAZ SUMMIT 2026

The Investors’ Breakfast

This is an intimate session, not a stage event.

Co-hosted by GAIN and the Canada Startup Association

Let’s kick off the day the right way, with fresh coffee, good conversation, and the people who can actually move your startup forward.

GAIN and the Canada Startup Association are bringing together Canada’s startup community with international and local investors for an intimate breakfast session that opens AGAZ Summit 2026. No pitch decks, no stage, just real conversations over a great breakfast, designed to help founders build the relationships that lead to funding.

Date

Monday, September 21, 2026

Time

8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Location

Mississauga Convention Centre

WHY THIS BREAKFAST MATTERS

Capital doesn’t move on pitch decks alone, it moves on trust, and trust starts with a conversation. This breakfast is built for exactly that: a relaxed, high-signal room where founders and investors meet as people first, before the formal Investor Camp sessions begin.

Sit down with international and local investors actively deploying capital into Canadian startups
Connect with fellow founders navigating the same fundraising journey as you
Set the tone for a productive day with warm introductions, not cold pitches
Hear candid perspectives on what investors are looking for in 2026
