OpenHack Cowichan Valley
Craig Street Brew Pub, 25 Craig St, Duncan, BC, CAOpenHack Cowichan Valley is meeting on May 20th, with a bit of a different theme for the evening.
This session will lean into business, side projects, and early-stage ideas — whether that’s something you’re actively building, thinking about starting, or just curious to explore.What to expect:
- Quick intros: what you’re working on or considering building
- Open discussion around business ideas, SaaS, freelancing, and product direction
- Sharing lessons learned (what’s worked, what hasn’t)
- Light refreshments and good conversation
Whether you’re running a business, exploring a startup idea, freelancing, or just interested in that side of tech, you’re welcome. No pitches required — just a chance to talk through ideas with others who get it.
If you’re planning to attend, please RSVP so we have a sense of numbers.
