Agenda:

eChai Ventures is hosting the Toronto Startup Social — a warm, founder-first meetup to bring together entrepreneurs, operators, and ecosystem enablers from across the city.

It’s a space to share what you’re building, meet fellow founders, and explore real-world collaborations in a relaxed, community-driven setting.

Whether you're new to Toronto or have been building here for years, this is an evening to connect with like-minded people, exchange ideas, and be part of a growing global community of builders.

eChai has hosted 100s of startup meetups across 20+ cities — and now, Toronto joins the map.

Come for the conversations. Stay for the community.

For any queries, you can reach out to Jatin Chaudhary, Co-Founder, eChai Ventures at [email protected].

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has been a game-changer for Hungrito, providing us with invaluable connections, insights, and opportunities that have significantly fueled our growth. eChai has introduced us to a global network of entrepreneurs and experts, fueling our growth and opening doors to new opportunities from Ahmedabad to Dubai. The community has become like a second family to us, providing support, guidance, and valuable insights as startup entrepreneurs."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
