In 2010, with the momentum of the technology ecosystem rising in New York, we decided to bring that opportunity to a larger audience. What if we organized an “open house for technology companies” so more people can take part in the experience of seeing space and meeting the people behind them? We coined it Walkabout, after all, it’s a journey of discovery and NYC is a fine city for walking. That year, the first WalkaboutNYC event launched with 15 brave, companies opening their doors.
This is some of the same thinking behind Startup Crawl. Startups, don’t forget to fill out the form to participate.
Here’s what we’re thinking:
There are going to be a lot of people visiting Vancouver for Growconf (week of August 20th).
It’s an opportunity to have a local audience for new companies, new products, and launches in general.
We want to showcase the startup ecosystem in Vancouver while we’ve got lots of attention. This means new startups that are just getting going, as well as growing startups that are eager to hire and grow.
So:
Startup Crawl - http://vancouver.startupcrawl.ca - go on guided walking tours of startup “open houses”. See the offices, meet the people, hear the pitch, submit your resume. Investors, students, other startups locally and across Canada. Add your email to stay in touch.
Startups - want to be on the crawl? Add yourself to the Startup North Index, then fill out the Vancouver Startup Crawl form.
