Description
The Entrepreneurship Society is hosting a special Founders Only dinner for entrepreneurs and founders in Toronto.
(If you're a founder and looking for an invite or chance to attend, feel free to request one from community@thetechsociety.org)
What is the The Entrepreneurship Society?
The Entrepreneurship Society (TES) focuses on quality, curated events for a variety of stakeholders in the tech ecosystem. Our invite-only guest lists are thoughtfully designed to ensure we create a synergistic environment to maximize networking and engaging conversation.
Each and every Founder Dinner attendee is hand picked so that both you and the TES network of founders will benefit from your presence.
There are a few rules at our Founder Dinners: No small talk. Make it clear what your agenda is. Understand others' agenda. Do everything you can to help others in the room accomplish their business goals.
TES partners use our Founder Dinners as both a retention tool/value add with existing clients to develop new relationships with potential clients. Founders appreciate the more relaxed environment as opposed to the typical pitch environment where the clock is ticking.
Check out our blog post (here) from the Founders Dinner in November at Brassaii in downtown Toronto.

Jeff Brenner, Co-Founder at Couple
In his role, Jeff leads the brand’s development and go-to-market strategy. Jeff conceptualized Couple as a result of his own frustrating, first-hand experience navigating the engagement ring market in 2017. After exhausting the traditional routes - renowned jewelers, independent shops and even the “friend-of-a-friend” - Jeff himself went straight to the source and met with diamond distributors to better understand the nuances of the diamond industry. It was there that he discovered a US-based lab making big strides in lab-grown diamonds, and after seeing how their stones were identical to mined diamonds - but with better quality and bigger carat size - Jeff knew he was on to something. He teamed up with co-founder Alan Shuster in 2017 to bring the idea of a simple, transparent engagement ring shopping experience to life. Couple launched in late 2018 and offers one quality of lab-grown diamond, set in eight timeless ring styles, at an exceptional fixed price.
Prior to co-founding Couple, Jeff was co-founder and CEO at Pressly, a content communications platform boasting notable clients such as Shopify, Salesforce, Time and Conde Nast. Jeff held the title of CEO until Pressly’s acquisition by Vision Critical in 2017. Jeff attended McMaster University where he earned a degree in software engineering and management. While attending McMaster, Jeff co-founded Nulayer, a software development agency.
