Well… this happened!
I’m really proud to have shared the stage with such awesome founders!
Rootd was recently recognized as the winner of the Vancity Innovation Pitch Competition, taking home the $20,000 prize at the first-ever Vancity Innovation House during Web Summit Vancouver.
The experience of presenting alongside other talented entrepreneurs was both humbling and energizing.

Community of Support
Feeling grateful for the audience and judges for coming out, listening to Rootd’s story, and voting. Their engagement and attention made all the difference in creating a meaningful experience. The support from Vancity for sponsoring the event and Frontier Collective for putting on such a great event cannot be overstated.
Local Innovation
The room felt incredibly supportive, and I always leave giddy and inspired after seeing all the creativity and cool work happening locally.
There’s something special about witnessing the entrepreneurial spirit thriving in your own community. It felt extra special to be part of something close to home.
Lasting Impact
Thanks again to everyone who made it such a memorable day! The connections made, stories shared, and collective energy of the room created an experience that will stay with me for a long time.
