A new JEDI is anointed

👋 The world may be sliding into “circle back after the new year” season, but Vancouver tech’s not done yet.

This week, Richmond’s UniUni closed a monster USD $30 million round — which comes just weeks after it was named number four on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 list. Startup TNT ran its first ever investment summit in B.C. and crowned the inaugural winner of its pitch competition. Meanwhile, awards season continues to roll on with accolades given to both companies and individuals, and the Vancouver blockchain sector continues to heat up (scroll down to the newsletter’s “funding and deals” section to read more). And through all that, Invest Vancouver released its latest industry report on the digital media an entertainment sector — and we put it in the context of how the city stacks up nationally.

Phew. No rest for the rocketing, eh?
