"AI has not eliminated the old playbook, but it has changed what is scarce. Speed and scale are abundant; judgment, trust, customer proximity, and uncomfortable work are not."

@1Password was built here in Toronto. Tomorrow the person who scaled it is on our stage.

"What are the universal startup truths that hold through as AI changes everything?"
That's what @tksimpson is bringing to TiEQuest Summit Monday. He built Wave to $100M. Sold for $537M CAD. He's been on both sides of a platform shift.
He knows which fundamentals survived. And which ones didn't.

TECH WEEK HIGHLIGHT ✨
Check out Off The Record: The Unfiltered Founder Truths You Can’t Google.
Tired of polished success stories? Off The Record delivers the raw, behind-the-scenes climb. This isn't a panel, podcast, or typical fireside chat. It's a closed-door gathering where accomplished Tech Founders ($30M+ average revenue) share stories they've never told publicly.
Curated for high-potential founders and Peerscale members, this "apply to attend" session reveals what really happens on the path to scale: near-breakdowns, tough calls, and game-changing breakthroughs. No cameras, no PR polish – just peers who get it.
Expect first-time stories from bold Canadian founders like Michael Hyatt (Dragon, Investor, Builder), Sally Daub (Web3 powerhouse, BorderPass), and Eva Wong (transforming FinTech with Borrowell). A room full of serious builders, not spectators. If you're building in tech and ready for what it actually takes to scale, this is the unmissable conversation. The stories that inspire and stay in the room. You'll also hear from Mark Jaine, Ryan Osten, Ron Spreeuwenberg, Wayne Pommen, and Michael Kravshik, CPA, CA
Thank you to @SchulichSchool Venture Academy who is sponsoring the stage all week long, BrightIron who is sponsoring our Tuesday stage, and @rbcx who is sponsoring our Thursday stage 👏 and a massive thank you to StartWell who is giving us a home base for our tech week events (TechTO HQ)
