全球20大创业胜地

9.加拿大温哥华

    代表公司：Flickr、Summify、Unbounce、PayrollHero

    创业者平均年龄：36.7岁

    每日平均工作时间： 9.5小时

    温哥华在Startup Genome的每项分类排名中几乎都处于中下游，但是“人才”这一项是个例外。它是加拿大第二大创业地，它的整体创业素质排名第四，可以弥补其他方面的不足。与多伦多一样，温哥华初创企业也面临融资渠道匮乏的困扰。照片分享公司Flickr堪称该地区最成功的初创公司。2011年，平均每天上传到这个网站的照片数量超过了150万张。

9. Vancouver, Canada

    Who launched here?: Flickr, Summify, Unbounce, PayrollHero

    Average entrepreneur age: 36.7

    Average work hours per day: 9.5

    Vancouver ranks in the bottom half in almost every major category in Startup Genome's study -- except talent. The second largest Canadian startup scene ranked fourth in overall entrepreneurial chops, a strength that can make up for inadequacies in other areas. Similar to Toronto, Vancouver startups suffer from a lack of funding sources. The photo-sharing company Flickr is arguably the most successful startup from the area. An average of more than 1.5 million photos were uploaded to the site every day in 2011.
