After a long hiatus, Launch Party Vancouver is back just in time to kick off the summer season and celebrate the best new startups of 2010.  We've got a bigger venue, a great line up of startups and some very special guests flying in to mix and mingle with the best Vancouver has to offer.

C100 Lounge
We are excited to host the first C100 Launch Party in Vancouver.  Like us, the C100 organization loves entrepreneurs and was created to help mentor and grow the next gen of Canadian-led Tech companies. Several members of the C100 will be in the house to connect with local entrepreneurs, answer questions and tell you how you can get involved.  

Techcrunched
Get ready to be Techcrunched! Special guest and Founder of Techcrunch, Michael Arrington will be popping up from Seattle to check out Vancouver's startup scene and be a judge for the LPV9 Startup Competition.  Be sure to practice your pitch and give Michael a big warm welcome to the great Northwest.  Hopefully, we will be seeing more of him now that he is just south of the Border. 

DJ Jeremy Lim
After 9pm, when the startup founders voices are nearly gone from talking so much and the demos are over, we can kick off our heels and dance the rest of the night away to the music of DJ Lim.  

Pixstar
Don't forget to drop by the Pixstar photo booth before you leave and take home a special reminder of LPV9.  

Startups
We will be announcing the Startup Showoffs and the Startup Competition very soon. Stay tuned.
