While there may not be many venture capital firms in BC, one of the best
in Canada is headquartered in Vancouver: Ventures West.

Again I quote from the article: "Information technology companies in the Silicon Valley can choose from 41 venture capital companies in Palo Alto, Calif., alone, all of which are equal to or larger in size than Vancouver's largest venture capital company." If people are interested maybe this topic could be moved to can.politics to discuss what sort of policies governments should be taking with respect to high technology. Donald Acton
