On June 26th, 2023 Intuit in partnership with Highline Beta and TechTO hosted the first in-person Demo Day in the three-year history of the accelerator. It was an incredible crescendo for the 4-month program featuring insightful conversations, startup presentations and celebrations.
The event kicked off with a fireside chat with Marianna Tessel, Intuit’s CTO and David Marquis, VP and Canada Country Manager at Intuit. The insightful conversation discussed Marianna’s impression of Toronto’s vibrant tech ecosystem, Intuit’s approach to collaboration with startup and innovation ecosystems, emerging trends in fintech and their impact on customers.

All-in-all, it was a perfect way to showcase the achievements of a 3-year old journey and bring our incredible community together to celebrate everything we have accomplished through this startup-corporate collaboration platform.
