This event has passed.

Join us on Wednesday, November 30 for a special edition of Disruptors & Dilemmas, featuring alumni from U of T Engineering, Arts & Science, the Rotman School, Law and the University of Toronto Scarborough.

Although the entrepreneurial landscape is forever in a state of change, the events of the past few years have shifted attitudes towards work. As people reconsider their dreams and explore ways to make a positive impact, many are turning to entrepreneurship.

But as they do so, one essential question looms: how can founders access the capital required to turn a great idea into a reality? And what does access look like for equity-deserving groups?

Whether you are already on the path to entrepreneurship or are interested in what a career in this space looks like, this event will provide insight into the lessons learned by U of T entrepreneurial alumni in the uncertain landscape of 2022.
