Here at coworking and office space provider The Profile, we are true believers that being in good company can make for a good company! With this mantra in mind, we are delighted to announce (drum roll, please) that The Profile is welcoming The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), as a Gold Sponsor!
Fresh off the back of Megan Markle & Harry Windsor’s engagement, another long-lasting partnership has been melded; and our communities can expect a wealth of great events, expert advice, and a beautiful business lounge to call base.
The partnership will kick off with The CSE25 Index Celebration: Holiday Special Wednesday 6 December, 2-4pm, at The Profile Downtown. The event is a fantastic opportunity for capital markets professionals to mix and engage with entrepreneurs, and you’re invited.
The Profile offers a great environment for us to host meetings, seminars, and networking events – James Black, CSE
We caught up with the CSE’s James Black, VP, Listings Development (pictured left), he tells us, “The Profile offers a great environment for us to host meetings, seminars, and networking events. We held several events in the latter part of 2017 and found the experience to be friendly and seamless. Most importantly, our guests and clients commented on how much they enjoyed visiting the space.”
Business BFFs
2017 has been another banner year for both companies. The Profile has seen an expansion of our existing and very popular Gastown location to two new locations, Downtown & Lower Lonsdale, while Black tells us that the CSE “have experienced exponential growth in the trading of our listed securities and have also seen a record amount of funding come into our marketplace. This isn’t to forget the dozens of companies that have chosen to list on our exchange over the past year, many of which have roots here in Vancouver.”
The Profile will play host to the majority of our local events next year that will cover agendas such as our Go Public Bootcamps and the CSE Talks Series – James Black, CSE

The CSE educates companies on the path to going public, while showcasing their successful companies; all of which inspires many of our entrepreneurs looking to go down a similar road. – Sunny Hundle, The Profile
“2017 has been a year of exciting growth for The Profile,” says Executive Director of The Profile Sunny Hundle, “our expansion of office space, and the launch of the new events arm to our business wouldn’t be possible without the support of great organizations such as the CSE. We are excited to grow our partnership and to be the host of their stacked events line up which only benefits our community of members.”
One company who has begun to make use of Rallyteam’s platform for sourcing and developing talent is eBay. We caught up with David Somers, CEO at Rallyteam, who tells us, “Some of our biggest successes to date have been around working with great enterprise companies such as eBay and helping them really change their culture around career development and internal mobility. We’ve also been extremely successful in building a great team especially given the competition around talent in the technology space.”

Want to know how to play? Here’s the story so far – You have secured a contract to build the world’s first vertical megacity. Start with a plot of land in the center of your city and build upwards into the sky, designing your ideal Skytropolis tower. Decide everything from the architectural design to every part of the interior. Do you maximize profit and use up resources from the surrounding city? Or balance sustainability by providing eco-friendly interiors and your own power generation. Be warned, the higher you build the more complex the city’s needs become. [TeamProfile: We think coworking spaces are an excellent solution to this problem!]
The Profile has seen past successes from Mythical City Games including when their first VR game Snow Fortress was selected by HTC to be one of their official demo games at all Microsoft and Gamestop stores across North America. So we can all look forward to their future works!
