September 16 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Catch the hottest startups from Cohort 32 battling it out live for the ultimate IO Ignition win!

32 Cohorts. 20 Founders. 1 Stage.

Join us for IO Ignition’s Pitch Finale, where Ottawa’s next wave of startups steps forward with real traction, clear direction, and the potential to scale.

After 10 weeks in the IO Ignition Program, founders move from idea to validation: testing assumptions, refining their models, and building momentum. Now, they take the stage to share what they’ve built and what comes next.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Live pitches from all Cohort 32 founders
  • Ventures with real traction and validated ideas
  • A room full of founders, builders, investors, and community members

Why Attend:

  • See how ideas turn into real ventures in 10 weeks
  • Discover emerging startups before they scale
  • Connect with Ottawa’s startup and innovation community
  • Explore IO Ignition and our Startup Fundamentals Programming as your starting point for building a tech venture

This event is proudly supported by Navio, Logan Katz, and RBCx.
