<h1 style="text-align: center;">comment mine</h1>
&gt;&nbsp;When does everyone else think Google/FB/Dropbox/Airbnb/Palantir/Square/Github/Pinterest/etc. will open engineering offices in Vancouver? I think the time is just about right. Weak loonie, cheap rents (Vancouver rents really are cheap compared to even Portland or Denver, let alone SF/Seattle), highly skilled labour pool, two strong universities with leading compsci programs, low oil prices, a tech-friendly federal government...I'm hoping some local companies have IPOs in 2016 (my money is on HootSuite or Mobify), re-invest into the city's tech ecosystem, and really get the money flowing
&gt; The federal government SR&amp;ED program is unparalleled and allows a lot of tech startups to thrive. There's also IRAP program funding available from the NRC. At the provincial level you have the innovation and technology councils
&gt;&nbsp;
You're asking about "new, agile startups" so if that means truly early-stage ventures doing experimental things then here are a few orgs that work in the space to connect/support/mentor that kind of company. Click and you'll see lists of some of the startups they're working with.
<ul>
<li>New Ventures BC &amp; BC Innovation Council, particularly their <a href="http://www.newventuresbc.com/the-competition/past-winners/" target="_blank">competition winners</a></li>
<li>BCTIA, particularly <a href="http://www.bctia.org/TheHub/Whos-in-The-Hub" target="_blank">The Hub</a> on Great Northern Way</li>
<li><a href="http://www.discoveryparks.com/the-generator/" target="_blank">The Generator</a>, part of Discovery Parks also on Great Northern Way</li>
<li>also, <a href="http://www.wavefrontac.com/" target="_blank">Wavefront</a> houses some interesting new companies in their VAP program but I can't find an easy list of them</li>
</ul>
Disclaimer: This is early-stage stuff. Prototype, sometimes pre-revenue, often pre-Series-A from a funding standpoint. i.e. a "real" startup! Access to funding aside, Vancouver is a great scene.
And here are more "incubators" and "accelerators" every year in Vancouver -- almost all are very open and eager to introduce the companies they host (whether you're looking for work or looking to invest or looking to partner).
Also, you might look at <a href="http://angel.co/" target="_blank">Angel.co</a> and filter for "Vancouver".
