TechVancouver

It was another evening of volunteering for Pinga. There were at least three Japanese attendees which was unusual. Two of them were looking for work. Today's topic was starting and selling companies so the speaker had experience selling their companies. Starting company takes a lot of work but selling it turns out to be also a strenuous procedure to go through.
