You might want to rethink enrolling your kids in coding camp this summer. Some of B.C.’s most successful technology entrepreneurs actually had a decidedly off-the-grid upbringing. (Think Slack founder Stewart Butterfield, whose given name was actually “Dharma.”) Here Hootsuite founder Ryan Holmes talks about growing up literally without electricity while tending goats, chickens and honeybees.
BCBusiness celebrates the bold ideas, fearless founders, innovative leaders and game-changing companies driving British Columbia’s economy forward. We deliver insightful and impactful storytelling about the power players in B.C.’s business community to a connected audience, all with a deep love of the place we call home.
