STARTUP CONVERSATIONS IN THE COUVE: DAVE PARKER
He's a 5x founder. He's sold three companies and been part of 20+ exits. He literally wrote the book on getting from idea to product-market fit. And he's coming to Vancouver.
Dave Parker has spent his career helping founders not repeat his mistakes. As COO at UP Global, he scaled startup events to 1,250 annually across 74,000 entrepreneurs before the Techstars acquisition. As CEO of Entrepreneurs' Organization, he led a global network across 87 countries. His book, Trajectory: Startup, was HubSpot's 2023 Business Book of the Year.
He's also blunt, practical, and refreshingly direct about what actually moves a company forward.
This conversation will cover go-to-market strategy, revenue models, and what founders get wrong when they're building for the long game. Bring your hard questions.
Startup Conversations in the Couve is North Bank's monthly speaker series. Real founders, real stories, no fluff.
