As the current cohort of MIF teams approaches the end of the support program, many will be wondering "what next?" One clear task for teams will be to continue to raise funds and in some cases it makes sense to seek dilutive funding, i.e. where you give some ownership (or equity) of your company to investors. But who are these investors, and what are they looking for? What information do they need to see before they will invest? How much ownership will they ask for? What do we get in return? And what are the pros and cons? There are many questions to be asked, the MIF has answers.

This year's keynote speaker is Colin Gallacher (B.Eng.’13, M.Sc.'15, McGill University), Co-Founder and President at Haply Robotics. The keynote will be followed by our TechIDEA Pitch Competition.
