Vancouver’s Startup Week Is Back And It’s Bigger Than Ever
Vancouver’s startup scene is about to light up. From May 20 to 23, Vancouver Startup Week 2025 is packing the calendar with more than 60 events designed to bring together founders, investors, builders, and innovators from across the country. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just getting started, this year’s lineup promises inspiration and real insight.
One of the standout moments? A fireside chat with two of the top executives from legal tech giant Clio. Jonathan Watson (CTO) and Reagan Attle (CMO) will take the stage to discuss how Clio went from local startup to global player while staying grounded in purpose, values, and the Canadian tech ecosystem that helped shape it.
And that’s just one of the many reasons VSW is becoming a must-attend for founders nationwide.
Key Takeaways
Clio’s Story Is Canadian Startup Gold
This rare fireside chat offers an inside look at how Clio scaled smart — not just fast — and what it really takes to grow a mission-driven company in a competitive space.
Over 60 Events to Choose From
Workshops on venture capital, pitch prep, and founder-friendly financing are just the start. Whether you want tactical takeaways or networking opportunities, there’s something for every journey stage.
A Launchpad for What’s Next
This week isn’t just about what’s happening now. It’s part of the Road to Web Summit Vancouver — helping Canadian startups get ready for a global stage.
Why It Matters: Vancouver Startup Week is more than a string of panels and mixers. It’s a celebration of Canada’s west coast innovation engine and a powerful example of what happens when community, capital, and creativity collide.
For founders outside BC — especially those in places like Toronto, Montreal, or Halifax — this event shows what a regionally rooted but globally minded ecosystem can look like. It’s a reminder that Canadian startups don’t have to head south to scale. The talent, tools, and trailblazers are already here.
And for those planning to take on the global tech world at Web Summit later this year, Vancouver Startup Week might just be your warm-up.
