Startup Grind Vancouver will be welcoming Boris Mann as our featured speaker for November's event. Join us on Nov. 6th for an in-depth fireside chat with the founder and managing partner of Full Stack about his experience building and investing in some of the most successful tech companies in BC.   Boris has been active in the Vancouver startup ecosystem for almost a decade. He was one of the first “non coding” evangelists for Drupal, and his first local startup, Bryght, was the first all-Drupal company. He’s since sold Bryght to Raincity Studios, and then went on to co-found Bootup Labs, the first startup accelerator in Canada. He is now the founder and managing partner of Full Stack, a "napkin capital" angel investment firm that works with and funds early stage technology companies.   Once again we are happy to feature Zone Vancouver as our venue sponsor for November's event. Zone Vancouver is a stylish new venue for meetings, workshops and private events in Gastown. Modern, versatile event space where ideas can flourish, creativity can emerge and connections can be made. Privatis will also be returning as our official alcohol and drinks sponsor for the event.
