A Decade of Transformation + Upcoming Members Event: Insider’s Guide to Mergers & Acquisitions
A newsletter from one of our fellow Canadian organizations in the Bay Area.
Canada transformed itself as a global tech player over the past decade. How can Canadians everywhere help sustain momentum now?
Together with our Foundational Partners, C100’s team has published a white paper on 10-year trends on investment and talent in Canada. We tracked the incredible momentum and put out a call to action as we enter what has already been a challenging new decade for Canadian entrepreneurs. So what did we find?
- Consistent VC investment in Canada growth year-over-year, with the greatest uptick ever in 2019 with 40% growth
- Canadian VC five- & ten-year returns are closing the gap with U.S. counterparts
- Large funds ($100M+) grew significantly from 3 in 2014 to 14 now (avg. size grew 52%)
- Canada now welcomes 5x the number of skilled immigrants as a percentage of its population than does the U.S. and Canadian cities have more available workers per startup AND per dollar raised than the U.S.
- But, Canada still has some hurdles to clear to compete for top talent. Canadian tech executives earn, on average, $87,000 less/year than their US counterparts.
Macro-risks are ever present, but opportunities abound for Canada to lead in the next decade. Community is everything! Have a read, celebrate the momentum, and help C100 get Global Canadians engaged in helping rebuild the economy back home.
