This is one of those rooms you’ll want to be in.

TAP into TECH with RBCx lands in Barrie on May 12, bringing together founders, investors, and tech leaders for a night of connection and conversation.

We’ve been given a limited number of spots for Sandbox members. Expect a fun, high-energy night and a look at the kinds of companies shaping where tech is going.

In this hands on session, you’ll learn how to build custom GPTs and simple AI agents designed around your specific workflows, brand voice, and operational needs. Instead of relying on generic outputs, you’ll explore how to create AI systems that think more like your team, support your processes, and execute repeatable tasks with clarity and consistency.

A biweekly online session where founders and operators come together to talk through what’s actually happening in their business and how AI can support it in a real way.

**Session Topic: AI for Decision-Making and Strategy**

This session explores how founders are using AI to:
-pressure test ideas
-think through decisions
-explore different angles before taking action

Welcome to our SBX Roundtables! It’s a chance to learn directly from marketing experts and gain real value from their insights while swapping ideas and sharing challenges with other entrepreneurs.​ This roundtable is designed to help you step back and rethink how your social presence is actually working for your business.

Third Tuesday of the month | 2:30pm – 3:30pm (Virtual, Invite-Only).

Built out of our most recent commercialization accelerator cohort, this peer circle is a highly interactive space for the commercialization cohort founders to actively navigate commercialization. The sessions are designed to be founder-led, practical, and shaped by the real challenges you are facing as you move from idea to market traction.

If your sales conversations feel forced, inconsistent, or overly transactional, you’re not alone. Many founders struggle to move from pitching to real connection, which often leads to missed opportunities, lower conversion rates, and relationships that don’t last.

Founders Breakfast Series

Once a month | Fourth Tuesday of the month

Building a company can feel isolating. The Founders Breakfast Series is where that changes.

Once a month, we bring together tech founders, innovators, and early-stage builders for real conversations about what they’re building, what’s working, what’s not, and what growth is actually asking of them right now.

No pitches. No panels. Just smart people in the room, honest dialogue, and space to think bigger.

Coffee and breakfast are on us. Clarity and connection are on the table.

Social Hour Patio Kick-Off | May 28, 4–6 PM

A biweekly online session where founders and operators come together to talk through what’s actually happening in their business and how AI can support it in a real way.
