Vancouver’s startup scene is set to become even more dynamic with the launch of “a new monthly event series! The series is designed to fuel the entrepreneurial spirit. This is more than just a networking event—it’s a platform where founders and startup enthusiasts converge to share, learn, and connect.

This format promises a unique blend of firsthand insights, practical advice, and inspirational stories, making it a must-attend for anyone in the startup ecosystem.

But the learning and sharing don’t stop there. Post-discussion, attendees will have the chance to engage in networking with a diverse group of founders, supporters, and investors.
