Documenting the journey of entrepreneurs and their businesses is my passion, so my involvement with this local networking group in Vancouver, WA hosted by North Bank Innovations is a joy to be a part of.

Networking for startups in Vancouver

Getting involved with North Bank Innovations and their “Startup Conversations in the Couve” series is one of the most rewarding things I’ve done so far in 2024.

After attending a session on the invitation from Dave Barcos, the event organizer and local Vancouver startup business hero, I asked if there was a way I could contribute. Turns out, video isn’t just good for businesses but also community events like this.

Each month, an innovative Vancouver based business is featured by presenting for the group for 10 minutes, then engaging in Q&A for 40 minutes. Networking and meeting other local small business owners and founders bookends what is a fantastic event.
