Startup Seminar Series

Learn. Build. Grow.

As part of the 2026 New Ventures BC Competition, we host free weekly seminars designed to give founders the tools and insights they need to build and grow.

Topics span from marketing, product, HR & recruitment, financing and funding, and more. Led by experienced operators, investors, and veteran tech founders, this series offers practical guidance to help you move faster and build smarter.

Our Startup Seminar Series takes place every Monday, from February to May 2026, with a new topic each week.
