Trusted by over thousands of entrepreneurs, we are the premier private business networking club in the Greater Toronto Area for business growth and meaningful connections.
Networking in a region as vast as the GTA can feel impersonal and fragmented. It's hard to find a community that genuinely cares about your success. You're tired of collecting business cards that lead nowhere and attending events that lack real connection. You need more than a handshake; you need a support system. We built Connecting GTA to be different. Founded by Suresh Kumar, our President and a respected business strategist. Suresh transformed a local networking initiative into one of Ontario's most trusted relationship-based organizations. His deep commitment to helping entrepreneurs grow, fostering authentic relationships, and supporting community development is the foundation of our network. We are more than just a business networking company in Toronto; we are a dedicated network built on collaboration, mentorship, and measurable growth.
We provide the tools, connections, and expertise you need to thrive. Our core focus is on three key areas:
From large-scale business expos in GTA to intimate breakfast meetups, we host over 75+ events annually designed for genuine interaction.
