You’ve built rockets, cars, boats. You know how to engineer complex systems, now it’s time to engineer your career. ​The Rules of the Game ​There is no "right" way to entrepreneurship. We’ve invited three "contestants" who took three wildly different routes, talk about their journeys. ​The Contenders • ​The Pure-Play Founder (Path A) ◦ ​The Route: UBC Graduation → Day 1 Founder. ◦ ​The Vibe: No safety nets. Zero to one. Learning through high-velocity failure and rapid scaling. • ​The Big Tech Defector (Path B) ◦ ​The Route: UBC → FAANG / Scale-up → Founder. ◦ ​The Vibe: Learning the "Professional Standard" first. Using corporate resources to build a network before jumping ship to build an empire. • ​The Strategic Closer (Path C) ◦ ​The Route: Startup Founder → Exit/Acquisition → FAANG. ◦ ​The Vibe: The full-circle play. Building something from scratch and then leveraging that success to lead at a massive scale. ​FT. @ Alex / Sepand from OnDeck @ Ron from AWS, ex-Hubly @ Kelsey from Day1 ​Agenda ​6:00 – 6:30 PM: Arrival, food, and casual networking 6:30 – 7:00 PM: The Career Crossroads Game. 7:00 – 7:20 PM: Live audience AMA 7:20 PM+: Food, conversations, and open networking
