VicFounders Award

In the heart of Victoria's dynamic tech landscape, a group of visionary leaders is spearheading a transformation that transcends industries and empowers communities.

From Jayesh Vekariya and Linda Biggs, Co-CEOs of joni, pioneering sustainable menstrual care accessibility, to Nadia Tatlow, CEO of Shift, revolutionizing work through an innovative browser, and Jason Morehouse, CEO of Checkfront, propelling global business solutions from Vancouver Island. Rooof, since 2012, has been at the forefront of driving innovation in the multifamily sector, delivering cutting-edge software solutions that ensure lasting performance and growth.

Meanwhile, Dan Gunn, CEO of VIATEC, cultivates a cohesive tech community, shaping the region's future. These leaders come together as a team, showing innovation, dedication, and humility. They've collaboratively established a $1,500 award that aims to improve the community and make education more accessible – a clear reflection of their values and commitment.
