Launch Party Vancouver 9 Wrap Up
Posted by Maura Rodgers in Launch Party on June 22nd, 2010
When we started LPV in September 2007, our goal was to shine a big bright light on the startup community and help connect entrepreneurs with investors, potential partners and their peers. Looking at photos from the last 9 events, it is clear that our community is growing and that the best of Canadian tech has consistently showed up to support and celebrate the latest crop of Internet startups in the great Northwest. It’s our hope that the startups you have seen demo at Launch Parties 1-9 will grow into the next generation of Canadian super angels.

Our ninth edition of Launch Party Vancouver on June 17th was definitely our biggest event yet. As Debbie Landa tweeted, LPV9 was definitely a “who’s who of Canadian tech.” We were thrilled to have Chris Albinson, Katherine Barr, Dan Martell, Debbie Landa, and Anthony Lee from the C100 fly up from Silicon Valley as well as Chris Arsenault and Shawn Abbott from iNovia Capital in the house. A great big thank you to all of our out of town guests for making the trek to Vancouver. Go Canada!

Put your hands together for…
We rely on public and private donations and a whole lot of sweat and sometimes tears to make this all possible. Many thanks to Sonia Ryan and volunteers Melissa Joaquin, Angela Baldonero, Tarlan Klo, Tina Hoang, and Laurent Munier for working the door and helping us set-up.
We could not do any of this without the backing of our LPV9 Partners:
- BCIC – the lead organization charged with advancing innovation and commercialization in British Columbia.
- Canpages - fastest growing local search company in Canada with a nationwide API for smart phone application developers.
- Clark Wilson - BC’s Law Firm for Business. Mark Longo & Brock Smith are the go to guys.
- HSBC - the world’s local bank with startup banking packages.
- Fasken Martineau - a leading international business law and litigation firm. Keith Spencer and Shahrooz Navabi are the real deal.
- Strutta - the platform for creating online contests and the brains behind the LPV9 Startup Competition.
- Lonsdale Rentals – the place to go for all of your corporate and private party rental needs. From bar rentals to glasses, they have it all.
- Pixstar - Pixstar Photo booths provide the perfect memento to remember any party.
- Mission Hill – Mission Hill has an amazing selection of Okanagan wines. They featured Rigamorole red and white at LPV9.
- Russell Brewing - committed to brewing 100% natural, real Canadian beer. And it shows!
- Jeremy Lim - Check out Jeremy’s awesome LPV9 photo set on Flickr and contact him for your event.
Our Media Sponsors rock:

Launch Party Vancouver 9 Tickets on Sale
Posted by Maura Rodgers in Launch Party on May 14th, 2010
Tickets are now on sale for Launch Party Vancouver 9 on June 17, 2010. We are really looking forward to celebrating summer’s arrival and the best new digital media startups of 2010 with all of you.
We have some special guests lined up for LPV9 including:
- Members of The C100,
a non-profit organization comprised of a select group of Canadians based primarily in Silicon Valley, including executives of leading technology companies, experienced startup entrepreneurs and venture capital investors.
- Techcrunch Founder, Michael Arrington just moved to Seattle and will be a startup Judge for the LPV9 Startup Competition. He will also be in town for the big event. Vancouver, get ready to be Techcrunched!
Ticket Prices
Since LPV started we have quadrupled in size. To accommodate our growing tech community, we will be holding LPV9 at the Roundhouse in Yaletown. We are told that we can fit 500+ of our closest friends in there, so hopefully we will have enough room for all of us. A Bigger venue + growing community = bigger costs. We have tried to keep the ticket prices low, still cover our costs and offer lots of value and fun at every event. Ticket prices include appies and a drink.
Cash Bar
Currently, there is no credit card service on site at the Roundhouse, so bring cash or feel free to pre-purchase drink tickets. We are looking into mobile payment options and securing a credit card service and will update this post if we can accept CC payments.
DJ Jeremy Lim
Jeremy wears many hats – marketer, photographer, musician and wicked DJ. After the startup demos are done, you can rock out and dance to the music of DJ Lim.
Pixstar
Pixstar is a Vancouver photo booth company that has lots of great booth options for corporate events, weddings and Launch Parties! Be sure to drop by the LPV9 Pixstar booth before you leave to take home a special memento from the evening.
