If you’ll be in the Vancouver area in mid June, there’s a tech entrepreneur community event of interest. Following successful Founders & Funders events in Toronto and Montreal, Vancouver is primed to host the first West Coast Founders & Funders event in Vancouver on June 17th.
Vancouver’s Boris Mann (right) from Bootup Labs has been working with David Crow, Jevon MacDonald and
Austin Hill to get this first West Coast event ramped up. After the June F&F dinner, their next Western Canada event will likely be in October. Stay tuned.
In addition to organizing Vancouver DemoCamp and BarCamp events with the local tech community, Boris also collaborates with Maura Rodgers at Strutta on Vancouver LaunchParty socials. Lots happening on the West Coast to link up the tech community!

Kudos to STIRR Canada alumni James Hildebrandt of Psyko Audio Labs Inc. who attended the inaugural STIRR Canada event in May. James appears on the cover of the June 2008 issue of Calgary Inc. Magazine, sporting his innovative surround-sound headphones, targeted at the gaming market.
From the Calgary Inc. Magazine article:
“Testing the headphones put a wide grin on one avid gamer. “You won’t believe what just happened. I heard this sound,” he exclaimed to friends, ignoring an anxious Hildebrandt . Snapping his fingers [the gamer] added, “And I got him in one shot .” [...] “The hair on the back of my neck went up,” says Hildebrandt.” “And I thought, ‘Now I have something. There is something here to this.’”
The article also profiles other Calgary-based innovative companies in a “celebration of the city’s five latest and greatest bright ideas.”
