About Metabridge (June 11 - 12, 2015)
metabridge - Bringing You Global Technology Leaders From Silicon Valley And Beyond.
Over 1.5 days we bring together the 15 top in the country technology start-ups with the brightest minds from Silicon Valley and beyond, to Kelowna, BC, recently rated one of the top wine destinations in the world. This VIP, invitation only retreat, provides focused and interactive events, allowing emerging technology companies to establish opportunities for investment, strategic partnerships, and mentorship.
metabridge was conceived to enable start-up entrepreneurs across Canada to engage with investors, advisors and mentors in the Bay Area. Rather than the traditional conference format, metabridge allows entrepreneurs to forge deeper relationships by spending quality time in a beautiful, casual and relaxing wine country setting with the most influential Silicon Valley venture capital, serial entrepreneurs and executives.
Founded in 2008, by Steve Wandler, metabridge was created after Steve returned to Canada from his acquisition in the Silicon Valley and seeing the lack opportunities that startups entrepreneurs have outside of the Bay Area for regular impactful intimate collisions and meaningful conversations with influential people.
Recently, Steve co-founded FreshGrade. A learning collaboration system that closes the gap between parents in the classroom. From the beginning, Steve partnered with Robert Fine -Director of Business & Entrepreneurial Development - City of Kelowna to build and develop the event and metabridge is now hosted by Accelerate Okanagan, a non-profit who gives new and growing businesses in the technology industry the levels of competence, connections and community they need to thrive locally, and be recognized internationally.
metabridge has evolved from a single-day small 30 person event to the premier sold out, invitation-only VIP retreat and conference in Canada.
