GET INVOLVED WITH YVR STARTUPS
MONTHLY GATHERINGS
The core of YVR Startups is building community where we host two monthly gatherings, an education/startup sharing event during the middle of the month and a casual networking over drinks at the end of each month. We believe that community takes place when startupers interact with one another and form connections.
Are you looking for a technical cofounder? are you looking for an investor? Are you looking for a strategic partner for your business? You may never know who you may encounter at the monthly gatherings.
IMPLEMENTATION/MASTERMIND GROUPS
Ever had that book/lead magnet you've been wanting to build but never gotten to it? At YVR Startups, we are big about DOING and getting things DONE, that's why we bring entrepreneurs and high achievers together at our implementation groups to keep one another accountable and learn from one another. Stuck on a certain step? Ask your mastermind members for advice/referrals! Finding yourself constantly pushing back your deadlines? Your mastermind group can help pace your progress and maybe give you feedbacks.
MENTORSHIP AND CONSULTATIONS
We know that there are some instances where a starup needs personalized attention from someone who has been there and done that. That's why YVR Startup has mentors available who can help you overcome your startup challenges in team building, marketing, scaling and finances. Whether it is getting feedback on an idea, learning about how to incorporate or fairly split equity, coming up with a good launch plan or finding funding methods, our mentors can give you a hand with your startup.
WHAT TO EXPECT
At YVR Startups, our mission for this year is to personally help 100 entrepreneurs/wantrepreneurs achieve breakthrough in their startups. Here is what you can expect during your time with us:
Be Inspired
Sometimes the stories of others overcoming seemingly impossible challenges inspire us to try harder and think outside of the box. At YVR Startups, our startup peers share their victory or lessons learned with one another so that our members can be inspired and replicate successes with their own startups. Perhaps their story can help you overcome weeks of implementations or maybe introduce you to new methods you have not considered.
Be Informed
The entrepreneurial space is constantly changing with new regulations and algorithms. We source experts and thought leaders to share their wisdom to keep our community members informed in areas including marketing, funding, team building, tech development and more.
Be Connected
We know that leading a startup can be challenging when your connections are limited and you do not know where to go to find support. That is why we make it a mission to help the startup community foster meaningful connections. You may never know who you may meet at our next meetup. Maybe it's that elusive tech developer you've been looking for, the investor you need to take off or maybe a strategic partner you've been looking for to take your startup to the next level.
OUR EVENTS
From beer nights to panel events and startup highlight nights, our events have brought out community members to be informed about how to grow their startups and inspired to take actions.

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR STARTUPS
We all know that we should be on social media but which one should we be on and how to dominate each channel? To answer that, we invited experts from different social media platforms to give a quick crash course followed by a Q&A session to give founders and startups a quick overview on how to use the platforms for their startups.
STARTUP NETWORKING SOCIALS
The casual networking sessions are the core of our startup community. Meeting monthly during the last week of the month, our community networking session brings out the startup communtiy for an evenign of networking over drinks and activities. We know that everyone has needs and that's why we have a needs board and from time to time facilitate the crowd sourcing activity.
