What we’re about
Vancouver Startups is a community of startup founders who meet in close, tight-knit groups to get solutions for real-time, on-ground problems faced while starting up.
Because we meet in small groups, our founders get a safe space to express themselves and find targeted, tangible and precise solutions to their specific business problems. In the process, they build meaningful 1:1 connections which go beyond the community and stay with them, potentially for life.
Currently, we run two types of spaces -
1. Deep Dive: every month on a Thursday evening, we invite a business expert (or two!) for a Q&A session. No panels, no speeches. As the audience, you can start asking Qs from the word 'go'. The session is curated and hosts 12-15 attendees + an expert, with a comprehensive networking session at the end. This means, you get to do 3 things - 1) ask the Q that's troubling you, 2) offer insights and potentially solve others' Qs and 3) get to know everyone thoroughly.
2. Solutions Studios: Some challenges need a more focused approach. Our expert this time meets only 3 invited founders and deep dives into their challenge in a ~20 mins, 1:1 consultation session. The table then opens for discussion once the 1:1s are done. Through this, we aim to help founders achieve some clarity, direction and hopefully, the exact solution, with which they can plug existing gaps and move ahead.
Starting up is not easy, and we would love to know what are some more ways we can support your journey. Drop us a message or let us know if you wanna chat!
Any dues or fees you plan to charge members: The group is currently free, however some partnered events in the future, may have a small entry fee to cover the cost of the event.
Partnerships: If you are a brand that wishes to partner up with Vancouver Startups and hash out an exciting event to promote your brand, please leave a message on the group and we would be happy to discuss any collaborations.
