This is the TechTO community mic, where anyone in the Toronto startup community gets about ten seconds at the mic to say what they're building, who they're hiring, or what they need. No slides. No pitch deck. Just the room.
In one run you'll hear founders launching AI agents and consumer apps, a nurse-turned-founder looking for a technical co-founder, a background-check startup hiring in Toronto, a founder community running a week on the water, and an AI-literacy nonprofit teaching seniors to spot scams. You'll catch a project-management tool built from your meeting notes, a new way to read books as a web of ideas, a software-testing veteran offering to help teams, and a health coach for burnt-out founders. Some are hiring. Some are job-hunting. Some shipped their beta four days ago. Others are chasing bigger swings: a shopping platform built on real reviews instead of fake ones, an app that finds the right person to meet in a crowded room, and a kids' product teaching STEM confidence through everyday inventions.
It's the fastest way to feel what Toronto tech is working on right now, and the whole point of TechTO: the person with your next hire, co-founder, or customer is probably three chairs away.
If you're building in Toronto, watch to the end. Then come to the next one and take the mic yourself.
What are you building? Tell us in the comments.
