What we’re about
Welcome to Burnaby Startups & Entrepreneurs, where the vibes are cool, boundaries are pushed, and opportunities are endless. You'll be joining a passionate group of like-minded folks who love to hustle, dream big, and learn from one another.
Our community believes in the power of collaboration and the value of networking, but hate the hard-selling or being sold to. Whether you're looking for co-founders or just some cool folks to hang out with, or you're simply curious about entrepreneurship and how to start a small business... you'll find it all here. From social meetups to dynamic workshops and talks, we've got something for everyone.
The goal is to put on at least 1-2 events per month, mainly weeknight evenings (possibly weekends as well). If you have an ideal venue in Burnaby that could host and/or would like to be a sponsor or prize donor, please drop us a line.
So come as you are, bring your ideas, and let's build something awesome together!

FREE WORKSHOP: How to Build a More Inclusive Workforce...and Why.
3999 Henning Dr, Burnaby, BC, CAWith 27% of Canadians living with a disability, inclusion is no longer optional—it’s essential to building resilient, future-ready organizations.
This practical, employer-focused workshop helps leaders move beyond good intentions and into meaningful action. You’ll explore how inclusive leadership builds trust, psychological safety, and a true sense of belonging across teams. Research shows inclusive workplaces innovate more, adapt faster, and consistently outperform—and this session explores critical strategies on how to make that a reality within your organization.
Participants will gain practical tools for accessible hiring and onboarding, learn to recognize common workplace barriers, and better understand employer accessibility responsibilities. You’ll leave with clearer next steps you can apply immediately, regardless of organization size or budget.
Ideal for small business owners, startup and NPO leaders, and HR managers, this interactive session is designed to be approachable, actionable, and grounded in real-world workplace realities—so you can build a workforce where more people can thrive, contribute, and succeed.
With the generous support of Canadian Partners in Workforce Innovation (CAN WiN), there will be complimentary refreshments and canapes provided.5 attendees
