Redbrick

Happy Halloween 👻🎃

We’re proud to celebrate our inaugural scholarship recipients in collaboration with iWIST 🎉

👏 Shukooh Goodarzi, recipient of the Redbrick Woman of Impact Scholarship, is shaping the future of sustainable engineering. From reducing single-use waste in Victoria to advocating for women in STEM, her leadership is proof that purpose and profit can go hand in hand.

👏 Elizabeth Reid, recipient of the Shift Woman of Innovation Scholarship, is addressing loneliness and isolation by exploring how VR can bridge the gap between online and offline interactions. Her PhD research pushes the boundaries of how technology can strengthen relationships, combat toxicity in gaming, and support online friendships.

Shukooh and Elizabeth remind us that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about the impact it creates.

Thank you to the IWIST - Vancouver Island Women in Science & Technology team for organizing all of the important work that goes into delivering scholarships, and to the volunteer adjudicators who had their work cut out for them!

Values aren’t a “set it and forget it” exercise—they’re a living framework that grows with you.

Over the past year, we took a hard look at ours.

Not because something was broken, but because Redbrick has grown—from a single startup to an ecosystem of six portfolio companies—and our foundation needed to reflect the company we are today, and the one we’re building for tomorrow.

The result? A refined purpose and four core values that guide how we work, grow, and show up together — and we’re grateful to Within People for helping us bring them to life:

⚡️ Deliver greatness
⚡️ Build together
⚡️ Invest in people
⚡️ Ignite possibility

Revisiting our purpose gave us more than clarity—it gave us direction.

And we’re sharing what we learned along the way.

Redbrick | Why Redbrick refined its values, and what we learned along the way As Redbrick grew from a startup to a portfolio of companies, our original values no longer fit our growth. Here's how we refined our purpose and created a framework for future growth.

An Earth Month catered lunch for the office can only mean one thing: plant-based food! 🌱🌎

One of our favourite in-office perks is the monthly catered lunch. We try to balance our selection between local favourites and doing themed meals when the opportunity arises, and with it being Earth Month, the best thing we could do was to bring a low-carbon footprint meal into the office for all of our local Redbrickers to enjoy. Big thanks to Meet on Blanshard for providing the great eats!
