Meet the person beyond the title.** For one evening, OtherSelf invites you into a world inspired by the glamour, energy, style, and social spirit of the 1920s. The **OtherSelf Great Gatsby Networking Experience** is an immersive themed networking event bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, business owners, and community members for an evening designed around connection, conversation, entertainment, and self-expression. OtherSelf began by exploring the layered identities of women, the person behind the profession, business, title, or public image. Now, we're opening the doors wider. This next chapter invites others into the OtherSelf space while continuing to explore the idea at the heart of the campaign: **Who are you beyond what you do?** Behind every title is another story. Another passion. Another ambition. Another side of ourselves that doesn't always make it onto the business card. For one night, leave the everyday behind and step into another era. ### WHAT TO EXPECT The evening will feature: • Professional and social networking • Live entertainment • Appetizers • Creative experiences inspired by the OtherSelf concept • Opportunities to connect across industries and communities • A stylish, immersive atmosphere inspired by the Roaring Twenties This isn't your typical networking mixer. It's an opportunity to meet people differently, beyond job titles, LinkedIn profiles, and traditional introductions. A curated space to mingle. ### DRESS CODE **Roaring Twenties / Great Gatsby Inspired** Think 1920s glamour, Art Deco elegance, vintage sophistication, flapper-inspired fashion, tailored suits, pearls, feathers, suspenders, bow ties, and old-world evening style. Interpret the era in a way that feels like you. ### WHO'S INVITED? Professionals. Entrepreneurs. Business owners. Creatives. Community builders. Emerging leaders. And anyone looking to expand their circle and experience networking differently. OtherSelf is evolving into a blended community where different perspectives, industries, and identities can meet. ### VENUE Venue and additional event details will be revealed when registered. Space will be limited. **Dress for another era.** **Connect beyond the title.** **Meet your OtherSelf** Produced by **Noble Media Marketing**.

AI & Tech Networking Event in Toronto by Ascent Valley

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in Toronto.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-pitch-themed-networking-toronto-unlock-your-idea-tickets-1999720375474?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** Most of us are in the same loop. You have an idea. You workshop it with ChatGPT, read another newsletter, tell three friends who don't quite get it. The idea stays in your head. Or worse — it never gets the kind of pushback that would have made it sharper. Research on creative work is clear: people who articulate their idea to like-minded peers begin to understand it deeper. Quality feedback isn't validation — it's the thing that changes how you see your own work. We mix the room on purpose. Different industries see the same process from different angles — that's where value compounds. We ask for your LinkedIn in registration so we can group you with the right people, not random tables. **How the evening runs (3 stages)** **Stage 1 — Themed Networking** You vote on the night's themes through the registration form (Fundraising, HR, GTM, Product, Pricing, Hiring — whichever wins the room). We group you by background. Each group's representative shares the conversation's main takeaway on stage. Featured contributors get a Featured Founder spotlight on ascentvalley.com — that's how the conversation scales across the ecosystem. **Stage 2 — Pitches** 5 curated startups present their idea for live feedback and investor introductions. After the event, we add them to our private founder database and route their application to the right investors inside the Ascent Valley network. **Stage 3 — Chill & Network** The structured part wraps. The bar stays open. The connections you started solidify here — most of our repeat attendees say this is where the real value lands. **Who's in the room** * Accelerator representatives — talent and dealflow scouts from Toronto-based and EU-wide programs * Investors — angels, fund representatives, scouts from syndicates * Founders, Pre-seed to Series A — building across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech * Operators — PMs, engineering leads, GTM leaders from scaling startups * Entrepreneurs across industries — fresh perspective is the point * Founders traveling through Toronto — from Tel Aviv, Berlin, London, NYC, Lisbon nodes * Hiring leads from companies actively scaling teams **About Ascent Valley** Ascent Valley is a 3-layer ecosystem: Community, DealFlow, Events. Our mission is to break local boundaries and enable cross-region growth through real connection between founders, operators, and investors. **Philosophy: [IDEA → PROCESS → RESULT.](https://ascentvalley.com "https://ascentvalley.com")**
