Ask Me Anything Fireside Chat
with MintList Co-Founder & COO, Mehrsa Raeiszadeh, in conversation with Bill Hunter, President & CEO, Canary Medical
If you could ask one of your most aspirational role models or mentors anything that would be super meaningful for a fast growing startup founder, what would it be? In today’s uncertain global tech and investment climate, where more measured decision-making and optimizing resources is top of mind, what “been there, done that” advice would you want to know?
Reversing the roles, putting one of Vancouver’s most celebrated startup founders in the driver's seat with one of her long-time mentors, this event will dive into some of the most relevant topics top of mind for today’s entrepreneurs.
This candid conversation will be led by Mehrsa Raeiszadeh, Co-Founder & COO of Mintlist. Mintlist was the winner of the 2021 NVBC competition, 2022 “Car Buying App of the Year” By AutoTech Breakthrough, and 2022 Stevie Award winner for Tech Startup of the Year (software). Just recently Mehrsa was recognized as one of Canada’s Most Incredible Women Leaders in 2022, by Bay Street Bull. Joining Mehrsa, will be 2020 Life Sciences BC Medical/Digital Technology Company of the Year and a 2021 Fast Company “Next Big Things in Tech” honoree, Canary Medical’s Founder & CEO, Bill Hunter. Prior to founding Canary Medical, Bill was Co-Founder, President & CEO of Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, another cornerstone company in BC’s life sciences sector.
In this Ask Me Anything (AMA) style discussion, Bill will share lessons learned, notable wins and fails, and the support and mentorship valued most in his journey as a serial entrepreneur making global impact.
