Company profile
researched Aug 2026Hi Tech BC (hitechbc.com) operates a web gateway to organizations that provide support, information and advice to British Columbia investors, entrepreneurs, technology-based companies, and science, technology and engineering students. National Canadian organizations that serve BC are also included, and the site invites suggestions for additions to its categories.
The site is organized as curated link directories across several categories: financial resources for technology firms and entrepreneurs (including MoneyLinks, VANTEC Vancouver Angel Technology Network, Angel Forum, FrontFundr, Keiretsu Forum Northwest, New Ventures BC Competition, NRC-IRAP, NSERC, Pocketed, Sustainable Technology Development Canada, WUTIF Capital and Western Economic Diversification Canada); technology industry organizations (such as AInBC, ASTTBC, APEGBC, BCNET, BC Technology Association, Innovate BC, LifeSciences British Columbia, Vancouver Enterprise Forum and VIATeC); Lower Mainland accelerators (Alacrity Foundation, BCIT's ARLO, entrepreneurship@UBC, Foresight Canada, Launch Academy, Spring Activator, Venture Labs and Zen Launchpad); university and college industry-liaison and innovation offices; regional science, technology and innovation councils; research organizations and institutes; stock exchanges and securities regulators; information services and news media; and miscellaneous marketing, sales and business services. The site also hosts a BC High Tech events calendar.
A companion page, "Business Basics – Money Links" (hitechbc.com/moneylnk.htm), classifies capital sources into equity ("green money"), government grants and quasi-government assistance ("gold money") and debt financing ("red money"), and presents a table of Western Canada–focused funding sources with web links and short descriptions of each investor, fund, exchange or grant program. That page lists a Vancouver contact phone number and email for Mike Volker and was last updated in November 2012.
Business model
The site functions as a non-commercial referral and information directory: it aggregates outbound links and short descriptions of third-party funding sources, industry associations, accelerators, universities, research agencies, regulators and news media rather than selling a product or service of its own. No pricing, subscription or advertising arrangements are described on the site.
