Hi Everyone,
Hope you’re doing well and finding ways to beat the on and off summer heat that GTA is experiencing off late.
We’re excited to share that SaugaTech has a brand new website — www.saugatech.ca
It’s been in the works for a while, and it now gives you a proper home base to check out upcoming meetups, browse our past sessions, see how far this community has come since that first Reddit post in March 2025, and catch up on the Compass newsletter, all in one place. Take a look and let us know what you think. Also feel free to circulate the link in your personal and professional communities to spread the word and bring in a wider talent to our community and meetups.
Speaking of upcoming meetups, we’re back with a session a lot of you have been asking for.

We’re bringing the other side of the table to you. A tech recruiter and hiring managers, with decades of experience between them making real hiring calls across startups, mid-size orgs, and enterprise, will share what’s genuinely changed and what’s actually landing with candidates in 2026.

Network with local founders, senior engineers, PMs and tech leaders.
