🤷♀️ 5 More Reasons You Should RSVP
Let's take it back a sec. Did you hear who our fireside chat is with? 💍
It's with the 36-year-old founder behind Mejuri, Noura Sakkijha, who's leading one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial brands in North America. Don't know what Mejuri is? Give it a google (or ask your sister, aunt or mother). The crazy stats behind Mejuri:
- They have over 1 million followers on Instagram,
- Celebrities like Selena Gomez and Hailey Beiber love their product
- and the brand has quickly become a household name in 2023.
The even more inspiring part?
- Forbes reported it was 179 percent over financial targets,
- Noura is a also mother of two
- And she is redefining sustainability in the jewelry world
- Aside from fanning out over Noura, we'll have an amazing mix of great food, photo booth activations, plenty of ecosystem partners, investors and alumni within the LOI community
- Including a super tactical fireside chat with Justin from Pine, Natasha from Google and one other surprise guest 🤫
The dress code will be business casual; so it's a great time to flex that new outfit you scooped up from Marley at Rax 👗
And you'll get to meet our LOI team (and the award judges) in person at the event. Who wouldn't wanna meet these 6 A-Players? 👇
Since we know you're busy building startups, we're hosting the event RIGHT IN THE HEART of downtown Toronto so you can get there quicker than Andre De Grasse runs his 100m sprints.
The icing on top: You'll get to tell your friends you partied at LOI's largest event in history. 🍰
