Founders Lunch

The Founders Lunch Series’ monthly events aim to empower and support entrepreneurs. Presented by Innovate Calgary, this dynamic platform connects entrepreneurs, fosters knowledge sharing, and inspires collaboration.

Quality Management Systems (QMS) can feel overwhelming for early-stage life sciences companies, yet they are essential for building credibility, securing funding, and meeting regulatory requirements. From product development and clinical studies to scaling operations, having the right QMS in place is key to long-term success.At this Founders Lunch, you’ll hear directly from industry experts and startup founders who have navigated these challenges. Together, they will share practical strategies, lessons learned, and insights on how to implement QMS in a way that supports—not slows down—innovation.Join us for an engaging discussion and networking opportunity designed to help life sciences entrepreneurs better understand when to introduce QMS, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to use quality systems as a tool to accelerate growth.Panelists:<ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-mayr/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-mayr/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kyle Mayr</a>, Director - Regulatory Affairs &amp; QMS, <a href="https://www.circlecvi.com/" title="https://www.circlecvi.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Circle Cardiovascular Imaging</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannyzahynacz/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannyzahynacz/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Danny Zahynacz</a>, Founder &amp; CEO, <a href="https://www.radmedical.tech/" title="https://www.radmedical.tech/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RAD Medical Technologies</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremie-bourqui/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremie-bourqui/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jeremie Bourqui</a>, Founder &amp; CEO, <a href="https://www.waveviewimaging.com/" title="https://www.waveviewimaging.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wave View Imaging</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marsha-bures-73151a196/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marsha-bures-73151a196/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marsha Bures</a>, Director of Quality and Regulator, <a href="https://www.nimblesci.com/" title="https://www.nimblesci.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nimble Science</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/becki-hiebert-66713432/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/becki-hiebert-66713432/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Becki Hiebert</a>, Founder &amp; Principal Consultant, BH Quality Management Consulting - moderator</li></ul>
