Founded in 2026, NAUEA is a new, quiet meeting place for Vancouver enterprise — across industries, across generations, and across the table.
About NAUEA
NAUEA was founded in Vancouver in 2026 by a small group of enterprise builders who felt the city's business community lacked a dedicated space — one that worked across industries, across generations, and across the table.
We're just getting started: a small, member-run community hosting gatherings, building a shared knowledge base, and helping new founders find their footing.
We don't have paid staff. We don't run advertising. Everything you see here was built by members, for members.
What we do
Whether you're an established executive, an early-stage founder, or a student preparing to enter the field — there's a place for you here.
Small in-person meetups and online sessions that connect Vancouver members across industries — informal, practical, member-led.
A space to talk through what matters to local enterprise — small-business taxation, immigration, growth — and, in time, to speak with one voice.
A shared space we're building together — notes, session recordings, peer introductions, and a member directory — growing as the community grows.

A one-hour session on practical, low-cost ways small businesses can put AI to work day to day — tools members are actually using.
