Vancouver Startup Events - Issue #15

As businesses transition to a new normal, many questions remain about the impact of 2020’s serial crises on the tech sector, startup valuations and M&A activity.

Join the first VEF event of the year to hear stories and insights from entrepreneurs that have successfully sold their companies before and during the pandemic, as well as their thoughts on COVID-19’s impact on the overall M&A market.

Leaders of the world’s fastest-growing startups have used the program to test their startup ideas, build a team, get their first customers, raise funding, and more.

Startup Grind Vancouver is proud to present this fireside chat in conjunction with Founder Institute Western Canada.

Marlon Thompson is an angel investor, startup founder, and spent the past five years creating pathways to success for underrepresented leaders in the startup ecosystem. He founded Future Capital to support ambitious, driven diverse leaders who are ready to play a bigger role in their industry and born out of a need for more, fairer inroads to venture capital and angel investing.
