We launched Float or Founder to learn from leaders

We wanted to meet some of the best entrepreneurs in Toronto to hear their experience first-hand. From executives to venture capitalists, we get various perspectives on how to best lead and scale a company.

What Float or Founder means to us

We know how rewarding and challenging entrepreneurship can be. The term "float or founder" derives from the phrase, sink or swim. Founder has a funny definition outside the entrepreneurial world. It means to sink.

We wanted to highlight everything that is being created in our great city and what goes into running these companies. We hope you can apply our guests' lessons and advice to your own entrepreneurial pursuits.

Seeing new places and new faces

We've been able to meet new and extraordinary people, host live podcast episodes, and participate in events thanks to Float or Founder. It's hard to complain about running a podcast that has taken us all over Ontario!
