Short talks. Real building. A room full of people your age.
Our events are designed to feel nothing like school. Come to meet people, learn something you can use tomorrow, and make progress on what you’re building.

The kinds of events we run.
Founders Nights
Our core event. Young entrepreneurs in one room, structured introductions, a short speaker, and real time to network.
Fireside chats
A Vancouver founder gets interviewed for 30 minutes, then takes your questions. Real numbers, real mistakes.
Pitch nights
Members get 2–5 minutes to pitch a project to the room and a panel. Prizes from our partners.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions: landing pages, cold email, branding, AI tools, sales, basic accounting, paid ads, pitching.
Build weekends
Teams go from idea to landing page to prototype to pitch in 24–48 hours.
Socials & founder dinners
Smaller, low-key gatherings. Because the relationships are the point.
Ninety minutes, structured so you actually meet people.
No lectures, no sitting in rows for an hour. You’ll leave with names, contacts and at least one useful idea.
Arrival & open networking
Name tags, a prompt to break the ice, snacks.
Founder interview
A short, honest conversation with a Vancouver entrepreneur.
Q&A
Your questions, not ours.
Structured networking
Speed intros and an “ask / offer” round so everyone leaves connected.
The archive
Our first event hasn’t happened yet.
Once it does, this is where the photos, recaps and speaker clips live.
Check back — or better, be in the room for #01.
