Lack of resources. Delivering on time. A decline in the quality of your product or service. All are common challenges entrepreneurs experience when stepping out of the agile startup phase and scaling their business.
How can you bypass the road bumps and give your company its best shot at success?
We've teamed up with GetFresh Ventures to help Vancouver startups tackle their scaling challenges. In this live workshop, GetFresh's founder and managing partner Diraj Goel will dive into three different problems faced by three local businesses, providing tailored advice to the company and the audience.
Want to participate? If you're a Vancouver-based startup trying to conquer your scale-up challenges, apply to take part in the workshop on February 29.
