Vancouver Startup Week (VSW) is a week-long celebration that builds momentum and fosters connections among entrepreneurs, investors, leaders, and friends within the Greater Vancouver startup community.

VSW is run by a team of passionate and dedicated volunteers, each of whom come from the startup ecosystem in Vancouver, and beyond.

Vancouver Startup Week has become a globally recognized brand supported by great companies, civic leaders, educators, business pioneers, and more.

In 2019 we brought together more than 2,000 people at 100+ events, including investor showcases, panel discussions, office visits, and networking events. Vancouver Startup Week events are not organized by one central body, but instead by dozens of amazing community partners which in turn are supported by the non-profit Vancouver Startup Society. We strive to have as many events as possible accessible under one centralized, All Access Ticket, helping participants enjoy the benefits of Vancouver Startup Week with minimal logistical hassle.

Our 2020 edition of VSW will take place virtually on Hopin from September 25 to October 2, 2020. Please register for VSW2020 here.

VSW2021 will take place May 21 to May 28, 2021. Please note: this Eventbrite page is for VSW2021 only. (Tickets purchased here are not transferable to VSW2020.)
