East Vancouver just got its own early‑morning idea accelerator. Startup Couve Coffee @ The VIC brings our beloved Startup Coffee vibe to the Innovation Center, handing founders, engineers, product folks, and remote workers a convenient place to connect before the workday kicks in. Think of it as your monthly jump‑start: grab a cup, share your current roadblock, and crowd-sourced wisdom from people who speak your language.

We start with a casual mingle at 9:00 AM, followed by a quick round of “Asks and Offers.” Need a beta tester? Looking for a co‑founder? Have surplus GPUs? Say it aloud and watch hands go up. By 10:30 AM you’ll roll out with concrete leads and the motivation to crush the rest of the week.

Startup Couve Coffee: Eastside is especially easy for Camas and Eastside residents and I‑205 commuters, but everyone is welcome. Parking is free, the conversation is priceless, and the caffeine is potent—bring your curiosity, your hustle, and your favorite reusable mug.

• What to bring
Nada. Just a friendly demeanor and willingness to meet new great founders and talk about your project.

• Important to know
This is REALLY not the place you want to come if you are looking for sales leads. This event is a place to meet and share your startup journey and talk about your project. While we appreciate all the members of our community, network marketing and sales reps will find many short unuseful conversations in this crowd. Thanks for understanding.
