This isn’t your usual roundtable. On October 2, we’re mixing things up!
Instead of simply rotating between coaches, you’ll be split into teams and given a business problem to solve.
Each team will move coach to coach – from sales to marketing to brand to product – getting expert input along the way. By the end, you’ll pitch your team’s solution back to the room.
It’s hands-on. It’s collaborative. It’s a chance to test your thinking against real-world expertise while connecting with fellow founders, builders, and dreamers.
And yes, there will still be plenty of pizza and coffee to keep you fuelled.

The Toronto Blue Jays just set a new record for hot dogs sold on Loonie Dog Night… and we’re pretty sure the PORCH crew helped tip the scales 🌭
But the best part wasn’t the scoreboard or even the endless hot dogs. It was the people. We packed the stands, cracked jokes, explained baseball to first-timers, and turned a summer evening into something we’ll all remember.
PORCH is about belonging, and last week it showed up loud and proud at Rogers Centre with an appetite to match 💚
In this episode, we dig into what it really takes to build a business as an immigrant entrepreneur in Canada with Abhijitt Sankar Roy and Dev Mitra of Matrix Venture Studio. The conversation touches on mindset, culture, and the realities of navigating the Canadian startup ecosystem.
Key Takeaways
Fall in love with the boredom Success isn’t glamorous. It often comes down to doing the same things, consistently, until they become second nature. The best entrepreneurs embrace the grind and learn to love the process.
Canadian investors need to do better Too many investors in Canada act more like lenders than true partners. Waiting until a founder is revenue-positive for five years isn’t investing... it’s risk-avoidance. If Canada wants to compete globally, that mindset has to change.
Your network is everything in Canada This theme keeps resurfacing: connections make or break your journey. For immigrant entrepreneurs, networking is not optional. Building relationships is the fastest way to understand the unspoken rules of the ecosystem.
Your past is important, but don’t lean on it too hard Many immigrants arrive with impressive track records, but past success abroad doesn’t automatically translate here. The key is staying open, humble, and ready to adapt to a new system.
