Our next #VTJTalks: A live workshop on Scaling Your Startup

​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.

About Diraj

Diraj Goel wanted a refresh. He had spent over two decades in Vancouver’s tech community at now-legendary local companies while simultaneously feeling the effects of boom and bust. Goel had witnessed layoffs and felt market uncertainty. He had also witnessed the sabreing of champagne bottles and felt periods of exuberance in the industry.

With these experiences in tow, in 2016, he branded an investment firm that reflected this craving for a new awakening: GetFresh Ventures. It was founded on the premise that purpose-driven companies can and should be highly profitable enterprises. The firm sees itself as a venture catalyst, working with founders to accelerate growth and increase value. It’s an approach Goel honed over those years rubbing shoulders with the Vancouver tech elite.
