@torontotechweek is just around the corner, and our Founder Community Manager, Paniz Kimiaei, recently sat down with Hossain Massoumi from Cyberometrics to discuss the messy, high-stakes reality of scaling a tech team.
The consensus? The hiring instincts that got you to "1" won't get you to "Scale."
That’s why we’re inviting you to join us at #SCALELAB, in collaboration with QuantumScale. This isn't just another networking event, it’s the home for founders who are serious about the "Building" phase of their journey.
Come for the strategy. Stay for the real talk.
What a start to #DiscoveryX powered by Ontario Centre of Innovation! ⚡️
The @yorkregiongovt RTDS Booth #833 was the place to be today. Special shoutout to our featured innovators, RadioWires and AWOS Technologies, for showcasing the future of #hardware right from the @venturelabca booth.
Catch us day 2 for more innovation, stay for the conversation! 👋
Cheers to 15 years at ventureLAB! 🥂
We’ve officially kicked off a year-long celebration, and this marks the start of content spotlighting our founders, community, and ecosystem. Raising a very realistic-looking glass (even if the champagne isn’t real 😆) to the people and partners who made it all possible.
We’re grateful to support founders as they build and scale globally. Stay tuned for many small moments of celebration throughout the year! ✨🚀
Proud to continue supporting Toronto’s bid to host the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank.
Our VP, Avinash Persaud, joined partners from @torontomet , @ocinnovation , @fieldsinstitute , @centennialcollege , and @torontoglobal to demonstrate the strength of #Ontario’s #innovation ecosystem.
We shared with Minister @peterbethlenfalvy how ventureLAB supports 85+ companies developing #dualuse technologies, highlighting Ontario’s leadership in defence, security, and resilience. With its talent, research, and capital, #Toronto is ready to welcome a world-class institution that could create thousands of skilled #jobs and fuel economic #growth.
Building the future of AI in Ontario. 🚀
Proud to be part of yesterday’s visit at the @venturelabca Innovation Hub, welcoming Ontario officials from international Trade and Investment Offices as part of their York Region tour.
Our CEO, Majid Janidarmian, joined the panel to share perspectives on the Masterly ecosystem, including Masterly, AI engine, and Masterly subsidiary, Masterly Food.
spoke about how strong government support and collaboration help drive innovation, global opportunity, and the future of Canada.
Being part of this ecosystem and contributing alongside other founders was a powerful reminder of the value innovation communities bring to York Region and Ontario.

What a night! Still riding the energy from ventureLAB’s Raise Party, where our #community came together to celebrate the momentum powering Canada’s #hardtech ecosystem. 🇨🇦
Huge thanks to @bdc_ca (Paula Cruickshank & Joshua Smith) for hosting us in their beautiful Toronto space, and to our investors and the HardTech Investor Network for making it all possible.
Nights like these remind us why community matters, and why we’re so excited to kick off our 15th anniversary with this kind of energy.
