About us
Welcome to Burnaby Startups & Entrepreneurs, where the vibes are cool, boundaries are pushed, and opportunities are endless. You'll be joining a passionate group of like-minded folks who love to hustle, dream big, and learn from one another.
Our community believes in the power of collaboration and the value of networking, but hate the hard-selling or being sold to. Whether you're looking for co-founders or just some cool folks to hang out with, or you're simply curious about entrepreneurship and how to start a small business... you'll find it all here. From social meetups to dynamic workshops and talks, we've got something for everyone.
The goal is to put on at least 1-2 events per month, mainly weeknight evenings (possibly weekends as well). If you have an ideal venue in Burnaby that could host and/or would like to be a sponsor or prize donor, please drop us a line.
So come as you are, bring your ideas, and let's build something awesome together!

Keeping It Human: How you can still Write Authentically in the Age of AI
3999 Henning Dr. Burnaby, BC. V5C 6P9, 3999 Henning Dr, Burnaby, BC V5C 6P9, Canada, Burnaby, BC, CAGhostwritten Software, Handwritten Books. In the age of AI slop and our growing dependency on tech, creativity and self-expression is increasingly being taken for granted. Instead, we are simply relying more and more on AI to write and think for us.
Discover the creation of OGHMERE - a revolutionary AI writing tool that doesn’t write a single word for you.
While most of Oghmere’s code is written by AI agents; the product itself won’t write a sentence of anyone’s book. Co-Founder Yvan Boily shares what his three-person team hands off to AI, what they keep in human hands, what it costs, and where the agents fooled them. You’ll leave with real numbers from Oghmere and one question to ask before handing off work to AI: Is this helping me do better work, or is it taking over ALL of the work...including your own creativity?
The Speaker
Yvan Boily is co-founder of Oghmere, a Vancouver startup building a writing coach that never writes for you. By day he is Founding Security Engineer at Gumloop, the multiplayer AI agent builder that lets anyone at a company build agents while IT keeps control. Over 25 years he has led security programs at Amazon, Fastly and Mozilla, started BSidesVancouver, and wrote A Parent’s Guide to AI.5 attendees
