Today in the Vancouver Sun Scott Simpson updated the world on BCIC-New Vetnures Competion 2010 winner HiretheWorld.
Twin brothers Terry and Doug Beech and partner Arash Afrooze took the top prize last year winning $100,000 in cash and $23,000 of in-kind services.
HiretheWorld will be attending the 2011 Awards ceremony tonight as guests handing out one of the main prizes for this year’s crop of contenders.
A lot has changed in the past year for HiretheWorld.
The web-based company that concentrates on graphic design is 20 strong, including 15 full-time staff who have been hired in the past year. They recently moved from a shared incubator office at Simon Fraser University to a much bigger space in Gastown. And late last year HiretheWorld was selected by Oxford University as winner of a global competition and they proceeded to attract investment from Vancouver venture capitalists Nicholas James Corp.
Check out today’s article in the Vancouver Sun for the full story and look out for HiretheWorld at the Awards Ceremony tonight.
