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.
