Crunching numbers: What matters to VCs during the downturn, hosted by WeWork

​WeWork Vancouver is co-hosting this event with Vancouver Tech Journal as part of Small Business Week.

​2023 has shaped up to be a year like no other — how are top early- and growth-stage VC firms navigating the unfavourable economic climate? Do unicorns still matter? (Did they ever?) Is early-stage the only area where investment dollars are flowing freely? What should entrepreneurs know about the capital landscape right now?

​We’ll dig into:

• ​What metrics matter?

• ​What are “good” deal terms in 2023?

• ​What’s compelling VCs to write cheques right now?

• ​What benchmarks are top-performing funds using?

​We'll hear from:

• ​Chris Neumann, Partner, Panache Ventures

• ​Leah Nguyen, Chief Investment Officer, InBC Investment Corp.

• ​William Johnson, Founder, Vancouver Tech Journal

​Agenda:

• ​4:00 pm: Networking, complimentary drinks and light bites

• ​5:00 pm: Panel discussion

• ​6:00 pm: Networking continues
