The Game of Value

Join us for an inspiring workshop with Robbie Deeks, a former Summer Company student turned entrepreneur extraordinaire. Learn from someone who has walked the path and can offer valuable insights on building a business you can be proud of.

Robbie began his entrepreneurial journey with "RD Lawn Care" in 2011, merging a year later with fellow Summer Company entrepreneur, Harrison Olajos, to form Thousand Islands Lawn & Landscaping. After attending Western University, Robbie immersed himself in the startup world, gaining invaluable experience across various ventures.

Driven by a passion for technology, Robbie joined Shopify, where he quickly rose to become the top revenue generator at Shopify Plus. His entrepreneurial spirit then led him to co-found VaynerCommerce with Gary Vaynerchuk, growing it into a multi-million dollar commerce advisory firm that advises some of the biggest and fastest-growing consumer brands in North America.

Robbie is now the CEO of his own company, Blacklake, which builds companies that solve foundational national security challenges facing private and public sectors. His first company under Blacklake will focus on cybersecurity and intelligence.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Robbie Deeks' story and gain insights on what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur.
