After kicking off the competition with over 200 companies, the 21st Annual New Ventures BC Competition, presented by Innovate BC, is down to its final 10.

And instead of just sharing the top 10 list with you, we’re also sharing a line on why we think each competing venture could actually win.

This year’s top 10 is made up of companies from a variety of industries, including healthtech, cleantech, proptech, and martech. Plus, half of the remaining companies—Moment Energy, Pocketed, Simply Rooted Media, Total Flow Cannula, and TrafficDriven Technologies—are led by female-founders.
