The beautiful province of British Columbia boasts a robust jobs economy, and in the southwest region we find an internationally renowned startup hub—the Northern tip of a talent and technology pipeline flowing all the way to Silicon Valley in California.
BC is proudly home to at least a dozen “unicorns,” which are tech companies exceeding $1 billion in valuation.
Current BC unicorns include Blockstream, Visier, AbCellera, Clio, Dapper Labs, Galvanize, GeoComply, Thinkific, and Trulioo. Thanks to the high-energy entrepreneurship and local support of the area, startups with unicorn potential emerge almost daily in Vancouver.
Unicorns are pretty much always hiring but they’re not the only ones: BC is home to more than 500,000 small businesses—more per capita than any other province, in fact.
