What does it really take to help founders scale without doing it alone?
In this episode of Growth by Design with Diraj Goel, Diraj sits down with Angela Robertson, CEO of Acetech, to talk about the real challenges founders face as they grow and why peer support, accountability, and honest conversations matter more than ever.
Angela shares her path from biochemistry and business to executive leadership, including her journey through VORUM and into leading one of British Columbia’s most established tech CEO communities. She explains how Acetech helps founders navigate scaling, roundtables, governance, AI adoption, and the personal side of leadership that often gets ignored.
This conversation is a thoughtful look at what founders need beyond funding, how to avoid drift and shiny object syndrome, and why building a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem in BC matters right now.
If you are a founder, operator, investor, or ecosystem builder, this episode offers practical insight on scaling with more clarity, support, and intention.
