2025 Intake Training Series
For Entrepreneurs Ready to Grow and For Investors Ready to Discover What’s Next
The Kootenay Venture Network (KVN) has been quietly creating powerful connections since 2022. It’s where ambitious founders meet engaged investors—and real opportunities are born. Whether you’re building a business or looking to invest in one, KVN may be exactly what you’re looking for.
And now is the time to join! This fall, we are able to deliver a new round of founder and investor training as part of the Discovery Foundation’s efforts to strengthen BC’s innovation ecosystem. Delivered by KAST, this series is designed to help both entrepreneurs and investors build the skills, confidence, and connections they need to navigate the capital-raising journey.
The fall cohort includes three evening workshops (entrepreneurs and investors on alternating Thursdays from late September to early November), followed by a joint networking session for both groups once training wraps up.
Participation is free, and completing the series is the first step toward joining the Kootenay Venture Network.
