Hey Everyone,

The cat’s outta the bag. We’re launching Vancouver’s First Coworking Space for All-In Founders 🍾 

The name? North House. And its purpose is to host the founders and early-stage startup teams hungry to be the next Hootsuite, Shopify and Clio of Canada.

And to get your attention for this launch party, we’re flying out:

• Eric Ries (Author of the Lean Startup Book, yes, that book you fell in love with when building your first startup)

• Tara Bosch (Founder of Smartsweets, that healthy candy you and your little one are addicted to)

• Ryan Holmes (Founder of Hootsuite and LOI: that startup community taking over the country)

• and Daniel Dubios (GP of $100M seed fund and Global Chair of Angels in YPO)

• andddddd 150 of the top tech leaders and unicorn founders in Canada to unveil the space to the public November 30th 🎉 

P.S. If you know of a good food sponsor to help with the big event, please email [email protected] 

At the big event, we’re hosting founders and executives from brands like:

• Arc’teryx

• WealthSimple

• Tentree

• Jim Pattison Group

• Lululemon

• Shopify

• Clio

• Aritizia

• TED

• Deloitte

• Revolver Coffee

• EA

• Dapper Labs

• YPO

• and many more

The good news and bad news is…. the event is already 95% sold out.

So if you do wanna be there, sign up ASAP amigo.

At the event, we’ll be sharing:

• Ryan Holmes’ vision for the coworking space

• Eric Ries’s next book idea he’s working on after the Lean Startup

• How in-person coworking was pivotal for Tara and Daniel in the early days of their venture-building

• And a few different fun games to keep all of the guests on their toes

In case you forgot, LOI (League of Innovators) is a Canadian charity. We have a legit page online where we accept charity donations and can give out tax receipts.

And as you can guess, building out an 8,000 sqft physical space doesn’t come for free…

So to help, this launch event on November 30th will have a fundraiser focus as we look to raise funds for

• 1) renovating the space and

• 2) expanding our programming/events

So if you, your aunt, your neighbour or your company would like to donate to the space to help out with a phone booth, a new table, or a bathroom renovation, you can see the donation options on the event page here or email [email protected] to reach out

We’ve also recruited tons of cool silent auction items guests will be able to bid on at the event such as:

• Water Skiing Lesson with a 5 Time World Champ

• Coffee with the Mayor of Vancouver

• Fresh pair of shoes from Native Shoes

• Hotel and Dinner date night package

• Blume make-up and self-care kit

• Sauna Package

• and more

So, go grab your ticket while you still can.
