RBC and Andersen in partnership with MEUS Science and Weekly Performance Science, are hosting a great panel conversation as a part of the Vancouver Startup Week. We cover big ground in one session:

(1) Handling rejection in financing and fundraising
(2) Positioning through investor sentiment and fear
(3) Cross-border tax planning strategies
(4) Navigating tariffs, trade shifts, IP, and manufacturing in Canada/USA
(5) Minimizing taxes and planning for growth

Each topic brought insights you don’t hear in day-to-day startup chatter.

And none of it would’ve landed without our rockstar panelists:

→ Namir G Hallak, CPA, CA, CPA (Kansas), CGMA, Partner at Andersen
→ Leena Yousefi, CEO & Founder of YLaw , The Split
→ Christine An, VP, Banking at RBCx
