In this post, I decided to open my archive and publish some of the pictures I have taken throughout my journey into the Vancouver startup scene. The quality of my shots is…what it is. I am not a photographer and I do not even pretend to. I simply use my smartphone camera to capture moments and details that I find interesting and curious. The shots go from my first hackathon in 2014 to my latest exploration of coworking spaces in pandemic times.
2014 Vancouver Startup Weekend Hackathon
I took these pictures in November 2014 at the Vancouver Startup Weekend Hackathon. It was my first hackathon and my first exposure to startup culture. After the event, I got into an acceleration program organized at a local socially driven incubator.
