“Founders & Funders is about more than just connections—it’s about preparation, perspective, and possibility. Early-stage companies rarely get direct access to angel investors, and this event creates that rare opportunity to learn from investors. From how to make your pitch memorable to preparing for a raise, the event is designed to equip founders for success. We’re excited to welcome Kevin Kliman, founder of Humi—recently acquired—as a keynote. His journey from idea to exit is both inspiring and instructive for any tech entrepreneur looking to scale.
Article content
We are grateful for the generous support of the City of Brampton, which proudly backs both Altitude Accelerator and Brampton Angels. Our sincere thanks also go to the Brampton Innovation District for helping make this event possible.”
