MAY 5, 2027 • VANCOUVER CONVENTION CENTRE WEST
Canada’s Value Creation Conference.
Value creation is a discipline. An acquisition is just one outcome.
Build for value from year one, and the options multiply. The same company built to be worth buying can raise, acquire, or keep going.
TechExit.io is for tech founders who want to build real enterprise value and keep the power to choose what comes next.
Whether your strategy is to absorb competitors, secure capital on your own terms, or execute a premium exit, the discipline is the same.
Clean financials. Unit Economics. Defensible product. Team depth.
The foundational work that makes a company real before anyone makes an offer. At TechExit.io, we sharpen all four whether you’re early, growing, or scaling.
Valuation drivers. Deal terms. Diligence realities.
Why two similar companies get very different valuations. AQ is a competency. Canadian founders have been building it at TechExit.io since 2017.
Relationships with operators, capital partners, and acquirers.
Optionality isn’t indecision. It’s leverage. TechExit.io is for founders who plan the moves that maximize value, not the deals accepted when options run out.
“A moat is not so much what you might think you're good at. It's what makes it really, really hard for a customer to leave you.”
TechExit.io gives you access to the resources, relationships, and information from leaders who’ve done it before. That’s where so much of the value comes from.
The value at TechExit.io is hearing on the ground stories from founders who have sold their companies and being surrounded by a network of people who know the upsides and downsides of selling a company.
What I like about this event is the experience of sharing behind-the-scene stories that you wouldn’t be able to Google or read in the news. People are sharing their stories very authentically and transparently.
What TechExit.io does so well is offer a smorgasbord of insights for people looking to build a valuable business.
Hearing the war stories, the struggles, the pain, and the wins from fellow entrepreneurs is incredibly valuable. That’s what makes places like TechExit.io so powerful. You get real collective wisdom
TechExit.io is the only conference in Canada that brings buyers and sellers together for candid conversations about the good, the bad, and the ugly of acquisitions
TechExit NOW
Each week: one Canadian tech founder on how they built value. Named companies. Real decisions. Value creation, operational rigor, and the stuff you can’t Google about exits.
A $6.52B acquisition makes headlines, but the twenty years prior tell a far more interesting story. At the inaugural TechExit.io Calgary, founders, investors and advisors shared the lessons behind some of the Prairies' landmark exits, from Calgary-born CoolIT Systems to Solium's $1.1B sale to Morgan Stanley.
Founders want options, but keeping every door open can quickly become a distraction. Optionality isn’t about pursuing every path. It’s about being in a position to choose the right one.
Not every market recovery makes life easier. Sometimes it simply raises the standard. When TechExit.io Vancouver opened in February, Ben Slager, Partner & CEO of Mogan Daniels Slager LLP, sat down with Christen Leinwand (Daniels) from Georgian, Jon Wong of Goldman Sachs and Anastasiya Pasheyeva of JMI Equity to discuss where technology M&A was heading.
