Naming an event or company can take a while and as busy entrepreneurs, Danny, Dimitri and I were eager to just get this party started.

So, one Friday afternoon over drinks, we chose the name Launch Party Vancouver “for now” and thought we could revisit it after planning was underway. I then created the Launch Party group on Facebook and it quickly grew to over 200 members. I soon realized two things:
1) We weren’t the only ones who were looking for more fun, networking opportunities for tech start-ups in this city and
2) once you create a group on Facebook, you cannot rename it later without removing all of the members, deleting the group and starting a new one.

And since #2 wasn’t an option, Launch Party Vancouver it is! ☺

It may not be a party for any company in particular but it is certainly a celebration for entrepreneurs and tech innovation in BC.
