Builders Collective with special guest investor Chris Neumann – powered by AWS — Vol. 5

​Builders Collective with special guest investor Chris Neumann – powered by AWS — Vol. 5

​Building a startup can be a lonely ride—but it doesn’t have to be.

​We’re putting together a small group of founders for real conversations about what it actually takes to build something from the ground up. No panels, no pitches—just honest talk, shared lessons, and a chance to connect with people who get it.

​The Builders Collective, hosted with AWS and Vancouver Tech Journal, is invite-only and intentionally small so that everyone in the room can participate. Come to swap stories, compare notes, and leave with a few ideas (and maybe a few new friends) that’ll make the next stretch a little easier.

​What to expect:

• ​Open, honest conversations among founders

• ​Real lessons from people who’ve been there

• ​A relaxed, collaborative vibe—light bites, good drinks, and better company

​📍 Location: Downtown Vancouver
🗓 Date & Time: July 14 | 4-6pm
🎟️ Invite-only | Limited spots available

​This series is part of our ongoing mission to strengthen Vancouver’s tech community — one conversation at a time.

​We’re so thankful to our incredible industry partners for their support and collaboration in bringing these sessions to life!
