Customer Segmentation: Who Will Pay for Your Product?

The fastest way to start a new business is to try to sell it to everybody. This session will teach you to narrow down your target group by using geography, demographics, and behavioral statistics to determine demand. It will also cover how to spot your early adopters, i.e., the people who need what you're building most will be flexible while you get it right. We'll discover how to narrow down your target audience, and how to determine if you were well informed in your decisions. The program includes a short networking component, providing participants with an opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs.

Introduction to Entrepreneurship: Is This for Me, and Where Do I Start?

Most people don't hesitate because their idea is bad. They hesitate because they think entrepreneurship is intimidating. This opening session challenges this assumption by using real Canadian statistics and introducing the Business Model Canvas, both of which can help you capture how a business creates value, reaches customers, and generates capital. By the end of this session, you will be given a chance to start filling in your own Business Model Canvas and a chance to network with other participants. The program includes a short networking component, providing participants with an opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs.

Meetup Event: Business Builders — Coffee + Clarity Session

I get a lot of messages from people who want to connect for different reasons—partnerships, potential investment, help building a leveraged business model, or job opportunities. This meet-up is a casual but **structured** way to meet in person, quickly understand what you’re working on, and determine clear next steps. ### **📍 Location** **Second Cup** 4841 Yonge St · North York, ON ### **🕓 Time** **Aug 20th, 2026** **6:00 PM – 9:00 PM** *** ## **💵 Attendance Fee (Important)** **$10 for business-related attendance**, including: * business model feedback / guidance * partnership discussions * investment-related conversations * strategic support / “how do I move forward?” planning *If you’re coming for both job + business advice, it’s considered business-related and the $10 applies.* *** ## **✅ RSVP (Required)** Please RSVP so I can plan seating and manage time fairly for everyone. *** ## **What this meet-up is (and isn’t)** **This is an intro + screening session** designed to: * meet you briefly * clarify your direction * identify fit * suggest the next best step **This is not** a full consulting session, a guaranteed job interview, or a promise of investment/partnership. Those decisions happen after follow-up, if there’s a fit. *** ## **Format / Timeboxing** To keep it fair, conversations will be **timeboxed (approximately 15–20 minutes per person)** depending on turnout. You may stay and listen to other discussions. *** ## **What to bring (typed + prepared)** ### **If you want help with a business model** Bring a **typed 1-page plan** (rough is fine) including: * what the business does * who the customer is * how it makes money * what you’ve done so far * what you need help with right now ### **If you’re looking for a job** Bring **two printed copies** of your resume. ### **If you want to partner with me** Bring a **typed outline** including: * your concept (clear + simple) * **your responsibilities** (what you will personally do each week) * **your expectation of my responsibilities** * what success looks like (timeline + goals) ### **If you’re seeking investment (or want to discuss it)** Bring a **typed summary** including: * what traction you have (sales/users/LOIs/partnerships—anything real) * how much capital you’re seeking * exactly how the funds would be used * why you’re the person/team to execute *** If this sounds like you, join me at **Second Cup on Oct 15th from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM**. If you are looking for a job, please use the meetup messaging feature to message me and I will add you to the event.

GTApreneurs October 7-2026 Toronto Business Networking Event

🚀Toronto Founder Walk Entrepreneurs, Startups & Business Owners

**🔥What if networking was just going for a walk with interesting people?** I've seen a lot of people in this group saying they want to meet more founders and business owners — but without another formal networking event. I've been organizing entrepreneur and community events in Toronto since 2016, and after seeing the response from the **18,000-member Toronto Entrepreneurs & Startups community**, I thought we'd try something much simpler. **🚩Important: Meetup RSVP ≠ confirmed spot** **Keep your Meetup RSVP as Going so the event stays visible here. You will get link to a short application after you RSVP.** **Toronto Founder Walk** **Sunday · 4:45 PM · Harbourfront** About 75 minutes walking along the waterfront with a small group of founders, entrepreneurs and business owners. That's basically it. No presentations. No name tags. No awkward networking exercises. No hard selling. Just walk, talk and hopefully meet **one or two people you'd actually want to see again.** We're keeping the first one small while we figure out what works. 🚩Meetup Location: Simcoe Wavedeck sign **📅Sunday schedule** **🕛4:45 PM — Arrive / check in** **🕛5:00 PM — Introductions** Tell us who you are, what you're working on and one interesting way you're using—or want to use—AI. **🕛5:15 PM — Walk begins** We'll rotate conversations and introduce a few AI discussion prompts along the route. **🕛Around 6:15 PM — Official finish** Many stay afterwards to network. Some people may grab food or a drink afterward. **🏃Running late?** Don't give up on coming. Approved guests can join our Sunday Walk WhatsApp group. Once we're moving, we'll share our live location so late arrivals can catch up. #TorontoEntrepreneurs #TorontoFounders #FounderWalk #EntrepreneurCommunity #TESSocial 📸***Photo, Video & Audio Notice:*** *By registering for or attending this event, you acknowledge that photos, video and audio recordings may be captured during the event.
