Entrepreneurs First <> Entrepreneurship@UBC: Fireside Chat
In collaboration with Entrepreneurship@UBC (E@UBC) and UBC ICICS — massive thanks to Chang Han for making this happen and opening the doors to UBC's founder community! 🙌
William Yoo and Ash Gozli from Entrepreneur First (EF) will be on the UBC campus for a casual fireside chat, and if you are a founder (even an aspiring one), a student working on a cool idea, or don't even have an idea but are interested in startups you don't want to miss this one! 👀
Meet the Speakers:
William Yoo
A former founder himself, Will is now on the ground with Entrepreneur First in San Francisco — one of the fastest-moving, highest-stakes startup ecosystems in the world. He'll be sharing firsthand what it's really like to build there, what the culture demands, how to move fast, and what it takes to make the leap.
Ash Gozli
An engineering student himself, Ash works across the EF team and serves as the Director of Investments at Front Row Ventures BC (#1 most active pre-seed fund in Canada), where he focuses on backing the most exceptional student founders and early-stage pre-seed companies across Canada.
