The young turks behind VEF's Momentum haven't wasted any time getting things rolling. Since we last mentioned them, they've launched their web site, and have announced their first event:

The night will begin with icebreakers and introductions, followed by an invigorating presentation by Geordie Rose, the founder and Chief Technology Officer of D-Wave Systems. Geordie founded D-Wave out of UBC in 1999 and has been instrumental in building D-Wave into a successful Quantum Computing company. He will be offering his experience in starting his business, getting financing and navigating his way through Vancouver's entrepreneurship scene. He'll close with his insights on how Vancouver has transitioned over the last several years into a technology entrepreneurship hub. The night will conclude with a question-answer period followed by networking and drinks. Refreshments will be served.

  • Date: Tuesday September 30th
  • Time: 6:30-10pm
  • Location: Newly established “Tunnel Multi Lounge”
  • Address: 622 W.Pender St., Vancouver: www.entertunnel.com
  • Keynote Speaker: Dr. Geordie Rose, Founder, CTO D-Wave Systems
  • Theme: “Building momentum in Vancouver: Lessons for a young entrepreneur.”

Light dinner will be served & registration will be capped at 150 due to occupancy restrictions. You can register for the event here, and tickets are free for early birds until September 23rd ($5 thereafter). See you there!

Looks like an interesting event to go to, especially for entrepreneurs like me. I am sure I would learn a lot from his experience.
