Who’s funding Vancouver’s startups? We pulled together this asset to make it easier for founders, investors, and policymakers to navigate the local capital landscape. It’s meant to be a guide—not a gospel. With more than 60 firms, funds, and angel groups included, we’re calling this our “non-exhaustive list” because we know we’ve missed some. The ecosystem is constantly shifting, and new players are joining all the time.

That’s where you come in: if you see a gap, let us know. Our goal is to keep this resource as useful and up to date as possible—for anyone building, backing, or supporting Vancouver’s tech companies.
