          Ravi Rocked the Crowd!🎤

          In a world where everyone is automating their outreach, Ravi Rajani reminded us of something simple but powerful: storytelling is still the most magnetic skill in business.

           

          Through his Magnetic Message framework, Ravi shared how the right 12 seconds can earn you the opportunity to tell a story that builds trust, inspires change, and truly connects.

           

          He shared the iconic example of Steve Jobs introducing the iPod with one unforgettable line:

           

          “It’s like having a thousand songs in your pocket.”

           

          That one message did what data and specs never could. It sparked emotion, connection, and belief.

                  “The question isn’t just can you raise money. It’s should you?”

                   

                  Michael Ho, Founder of Ventures Cubed and former VC, joined us for PORCH Talk about what it really takes to grow your business... with or without outside funding.

                   

                  Michael broke down the new reality of fundraising:

                  • 🚀 Revenue alone isn’t enough to attract investors anymore
                  • 💰 VCs want to see venture-scale growth but done in a capital-efficient way
                  • 🧭 Every founder needs a roadmap, whether it’s toward Series A or toward product-market fit without raising

                    PORCH Leads Slides

                    A big thank you these 2!

                     

                    💚 Bruce Faulker is our Toronto Chapter Leader! From new faces in the community 2 years ago, to quickly loved by all, then PORCH Ambassadors, and now taking the face of PORCH Toronto.

                    Your passion to help others is something very special and the community, events, sessions, and conversations would not be the same without you.

                     

                    💜 Naz Noorani has stepped up as not only an advocate for international entrepreneurs in the club, but as a leader of the #womenofPORCH.

                     

                    Among other things, Naz runs the monthly #WomenofPORCH Cirlce – a space to pause and celebrate the little victories (personal or professional) that quietly move us forward in BIG WAYS.

                    You can share a recent win, listen in, or just hold space for others. No prep, just bring yourself (and your favorite drink for our “cheers moment 🥂”)

                     

                    Thank you both for all you do!

                            This one is for the entrepreneurs who actually want to get better at selling.

                             

                            Join us for a raw, unfiltered session with Scott Leese | Fractional CRO, GTM Advisor, 6x Sales Leader, and the guy behind 12 unicorns and 11 exits.

                             

                            Scott is bringing the truth about what it really takes to succeed in sales: how to overcome objections, close deals, and build relationships that last. No fluff. No corporate jargon. Just practical strategies from someone who has been there, built it, and scaled it.

                             

                            Whether you are selling your product, your vision, or yourself, this session will sharpen how you think and execute.
