全球20大創業勝地
8.加拿大多倫多 ????代表公司:Wave Accounting、FreshBooks、Achievers、Polar Mobile ????創業者平均年齡:35.6歲 ????每日平均工作時間: 8.7小時 ????多倫多必須與在臨近的紐約和波士頓這些對初創企業具有很強吸引力的城市進行競爭。但這個加拿大城市還是站穩了腳跟,但當地的初創企業數量比硅谷要少85%。多倫多的創業環境在加拿大首屈一指,但它也存在融資資金不足的問題;很多創業者只能自籌資金,或者向親朋好友借錢。有些人擔心如果不提供更好的融資選擇,多倫多的創業者可能轉戰其他地區。 |
8. Toronto, Canada ????Who launched here?: Wave Accounting, FreshBooks, Achievers, Polar Mobile ????Average entrepreneur age: 35.6 ????Average work hours per day: 8.7 ????Regionally, Toronto has to compete against other startup magnet cities like NYC and Boston, but the Canadian locale holds its own even though it has 85% fewer startups than Silicon Valley. Despite claiming the top spot in Canada, though, Toronto suffers from insufficient capital sources; many entrepreneurs are forced to rely on self-funding or rounds from family and friends. Some fear that entrepreneurs from Toronto may head to other regions unless better funding options become available. |
