全球20大创业胜地

8.加拿大多伦多

    代表公司：Wave Accounting、FreshBooks、Achievers、Polar Mobile

    创业者平均年龄：35.6岁

    每日平均工作时间： 8.7小时

    多伦多必须与在临近的纽约和波士顿这些对初创企业具有很强吸引力的城市进行竞争。但这个加拿大城市还是站稳了脚跟，但当地的初创企业数量比硅谷要少85%。多伦多的创业环境在加拿大首屈一指，但它也存在融资资金不足的问题；很多创业者只能自筹资金，或者向亲朋好友借钱。有些人担心如果不提供更好的融资选择，多伦多的创业者可能转战其他地区。

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.
