Wednesday, 7 August



Jack Newton is the Founder and CEO of Clio. Jack founded Clio in 2007 with Rian Gauvreau with a goal of simplifying project management, time & billing and client collaboration for lawyers and other professionals. Over the course of the last 5 years Clio has transitioned from an idea to one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, with tens of thousands of paying users, over 80 full-time employees, and millions of dollars of revenues.


Jack will be on hand to discuss:



  • the challenges of growing a startup from one to tens of thousands of users

  • growing Clio's team from 2 to 60+ full-time employees

  • the funding process Clio has gone through, from Friends & Family investment to large VCs

  • the benefits - and challenges - of building a startup in Vancouver VS Silicon Valley

  • and anything else you'd like to ask him!
