Stats

Computed live from the directory

The Edmonton tech ecosystem in numbers

Every number here is computed from the published directory, so it changes as companies are added and corrected. Facts a public source doesn't state are left out rather than guessed: each chart says how many records it covers.

Companies by funding stage

No public source we use states a company's funding stage, so there is nothing to chart yet. Stages will come from companies that claim their profiles.

Growth

Growth and exits

When companies were founded, and the acquisitions and closures we can date.

Companies by founding year

In five-year bins. A public source states the founding year for 98 of 645 companies (15%), so read the shape, not the totals.
