Meet your MC for Venturepark Summit Toronto. 🎤

Vanessa Toperczer is deeply committed to building strong Canadian brands and empowering the people behind them, which makes her the perfect person to lead this room.

She brings a rare full-circle perspective: brand leadership, marketing, consumer insight, agency, non-profit, and entrepreneurial environments across global organizations, challenger brands, and the investors backing them.

Known for cutting through complexity and zeroing in on what matters, Vanessa helps brands and teams move with clarity and purpose and we're looking forward to having her set the tone for Venturepark Summit Toronto!

Building a CPG brand is lonely. It shouldn't be.

When you join VenturePark, you're matched 1:1 with an Executive in Residence who's actually scaled a brand — not a generalist coach, not a panel of strangers. Just one person, in your corner, every week.
Behind them: a program team that's walked 200+ Canadian founders through the same messy middle you're in right now.

And when the program ends? You get 3 more months of mentorship. Because momentum doesn't stop on graduation day.

Cohort 22 starts this October. Applications open now →

✨ To Our Incredible Cohort 20 & 21 Companies ✨

A huge thank you to the founders who showed up and brought their energy, passion, and products to the Venturepark Summit in Calgary.

From stepping onto the stage to deliver your pitches, to connecting in the Networking Hall, sharing your stories, sampling your products, and jumping into conversations all day long — you brought the energy that made this event so special.

Building a business takes grit. Showing up, putting yourself out there, and sharing what you’re creating takes even more. We know how much work happens behind the scenes, and it was incredible to see all of that hard work come to life in one room.

Watching our cohort companies connect with industry leaders, mentors, partners, and fellow founders is exactly what Venturepark is all about: community, growth, and supporting one another as we build together.
