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.

AI is changing more than the tools we use. It’s changing what a business owner can actually accomplish with the time, budget, and team they already have.

You are invited to join Sandbox Centre and Alysia Taylor, Founder of Art of AI, for an interactive Lunch & Learn exploring how AI can help remove barriers, rethink everyday processes, and move ideas forward that may have previously felt out of reach.

This isn’t about learning another AI tool. It’s about looking at your business differently and asking: What could I build, solve, or improve now that I couldn’t before?

Pitch your Secret Sauce (without giving it away) is a practical IP series for Canadian founders and business owners who want to get smarter about protecting the ideas, brands, technology and competitive advantages behind their businesses.

Through three founder-focused sessions, we’ll tackle the IP questions that come up as you grow, from sharing your secret sauce with potential clients and investors to protecting your brand and understanding ownership of the technology you develop.

No generic IP 101. Just practical conversations to help you make stronger business decisions and level up your IP game.
