Hey Important Friends & Guests,

Join us for an epic, highly interactive and productive business networking event in a relaxed, non-pressure environment overlooking the beautiful Robson & Bute area. We had 118 people attended physically in July and 105 people attended in June, which was cross promoted by 5+ other awesome JV groups. If you want amazing great value, then check out this event, look at the past pictures and/or ask the past attendees.

We are determined to make this better than the 'typical boring networking over beers' event and want everyone to be closer to their goals even if you are introverted and are not comfortable in large crowd settings. We've been to those meetups where they throw you in a room and let you be, so only the most extroverted get results while the rest go home empty handed. We want to turn that model upside down with our unique activities, so that everyone can leave with more better quality contacts to follow up with.

Get your tickets as an Early Bird here at 50% off, so it's only $10 in the first half of each month (Use YVR to get the discount). Prices will go up on the 16th of each month to $15 and if you procrastinate more, then the Procrastinator's Special is $20 at the door:

The evening will be full of amazing entrepreneurs and traditional business people mingling. There will be an awesome mix of people from all over the lower mainland. Our events are popular, fills up and everyone we asked for feedback from were happy.

You’re welcome to join us earlier from 5 pm for their Happy Hours' Specials before the actual event starts later. How to find us? We will be at the private room with a beautiful view of Robson St. and/or ask for Nathan at the front desk. Everyone is welcome!

Share your ideas or help others to make their ideas a reality. Feel free to share any marketing and growth challenges your business is experiencing then provide support to one another. Why? The Karma God will compensate you for your kindness and wisdom.

CROWD SOURCING ACTIVITY:
Everyone has a need or an itch they can't seem to scratch on their own for their business, so the law of probability is very good to solve your needs, wants or problems because someone in the room can help you directly or indirectly by knowing someone else who can be a solution/option, likewise you may be the solution/choice to someone's need. At YVR Startups, we believe in thinking outside of the box to help everyone get connected with solutions/options.
