<description><![CDATA[ The concept of a &quot;traditional office&quot; work environment has evolved over time, with companies increasingly shifting to virtual settings (remote work) and/or a hybrid work environment. Working in-office can lead to instances like striking up a conversation about a project, say, at the coffee machine or the watercooler, and the result is a new idea or solution.  ]]></description>

<title>Startup Grind Global Conference &#45; A Year Later</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/startup-grind-global-conference-a-year-later</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/startup-grind-global-conference-a-year-later</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ This time last year the @Assist Team was preparing to pitch at Startup Grind&#039;s Global Conference. Up until that event, @Assist was known as an all-in-one property management &amp; accounting solution with a kick-bottom platform, marketing and branding. By making it into the Top 50 we had the opportunity to speak at Startup Grind&#039;s Global Conference powered by Google in Silicon Valley. We took the stage to chat about our digital platform and how it&#039;s changing the way property managers, owners and landlords manage residents, financials and industry challenges. We decreased the need for alternative programs, stacks of paperwork, spreadsheets, email and documents to help individuals manage their properties and business properly and efficiently with one easy to follow flow. If you missed it, you can read about our entire journey here. ]]></description>

<title>After Startup Grind: Final Thoughts</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/after-startup-grind-final-thoughts</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/after-startup-grind-final-thoughts</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ After exhibiting, multiple meetings, pitching on the main stage, and countless hours of preparation paired with the overall excitement of attending Startup Grind, we&#039;re exhausted! Although the conference is over, we made lifelong connections and friends that we will treasure. The entire experience was incredible. We are grateful to have heard from top industry leaders, keynote speakers, founders, entrepreneurs, investors and media and happy that we got to see firsthand what&#039;s happening in the world of tech. ]]></description>

<title>After Startup Grind: Cooldown</title>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/after-startup-grind-cooldown</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ After a week of excitement and little to no sleep, Thursday morning after the conference seemed extra quiet. As we sat sipping tea at our usual table at Sheraton Hotel’s Hillside Tavern Lounge, it felt odd not have a million and one things to do with the day. We had scheduled our return road trip to start late on Friday, and this is what we did with ourselves to relax, unwind and explore. ]]></description>

<title>At Startup Grind: Investor Meetings</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/at-startup-grind-investor-meetings</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/at-startup-grind-investor-meetings</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ One of the perks of being selected in the Top 50 at Startup Grind is the introduction to their network of Investors. Prior to arriving at the conference, we were asked to provide a response to a few additional questions for this benefit. Our answers were compiled into an introductory profile that Startup Grind provided to their network. Investors would then pick and choose which company or companies they would like to have a meeting with. While this system doesn&#039;t necessarily guarantee every company will have a meeting, it does ensure that the meetings match companies with truly interested Investors. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ At 5 a.m. on a Wednesday while most folks were still fast asleep, we were already on our way to Exhibition Day at Startup Grind. Because we&#039;d booked our hotel near the wrong Fox Theatre, it was an hour and a half journey to Redwood City. And we’d stayed up until 1 or 2 a.m. to ensure our display would be on point. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Exhausted from the sights and sounds from Pitch Bootcamp and Opening Night, but determined not to miss anything, we rolled out of bed and propelled ourselves into the car. At least that meant crossing the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge. ]]></description>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/at-startup-grind-opening-night</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ To shake off some of the stress from Pitch Bootcamp, we were thrown a lovely mixer with drinks and snacks at Fox Theatre before Opening Night officially began. During this time, we had the opportunity to approach companies we had seen pitch or had found interesting. It was a laid-back environment with enthusiastic attendees eager to connect and learn more about each other. ]]></description>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/the-journey-to-startup-grind-road-trip</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Forget flying, road trips are so much more fun. After going through the Startup Grind Application Process and making the Top 50 selected companies, @Assist traveled to San Francisco on an incredible 3 day road trip. Having secured a reliable vehicle from the kind folks at Enterprise, our little team of four traveled 2500 km (1554 miles) from sunny Edmonton all the way to stormy San Francisco.

<title>The Controversy of the @</title>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/the-controversy-of-the-at</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As you might have noticed, our name starts with an @. When @Assist was a baby cooing in its crib, the idea of helping anyone virtually was a futuristic idea. That @ immediately said &quot;we are the future&quot;. Now with the addition of social media&#039;s @ and #&#039;s it&#039;s been a bit more challenging to say the least. ]]></description>

<title>@Assist: Behind the Idea</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/atassist-behind-the-idea</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/atassist-behind-the-idea</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ @Assist was founded in 2009 after years of experience in the property management industry. Property management can be both challenging and time consuming and from the beginning, we strived to create processes that would take some of a property manager&#039;s least favourite aspects of the job, such as being on call, receiving service requests and hand delivering notices, and handle them in a much more effective way. ]]></description>
