Zymeworks lands drug deals

VR headsets turn heads

ancouver drug developer Zymeworks has landed US$36 million from global pharmaceutical giant Glaxo SmithKline (GSK) and is eligible to receive up to US$152 million in development and clinical milestone payments, the company announced April 26. Along with commercial milestone payments, the company said it could generate up to US$720 million. The partnership involves Zymeworks’ Azymetric drug discovery platform, which CEO Ali Tehrani says helps the process of “super-charging the body’s immune system to deal with cancer.” Under the new agreement, GSK will have the option to develop and commercialize multiple Zymeworks drugs. Zymeworks has been on a roll since 2011 when it signed a deal,

reportedly worth up to US$187 million, with pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. Inc. Last December, Zymeworks and GSK entered into a collaboration and licence agreement to research, develop and commercialize certain drugs. Then, this January it landed US$61.5 million in a fundraising round co-led by BDC Capital and Lumira Capital.

irtual reality headsets sales are forecast to hit US$2.3 billion by the end of 2016, according to an April 21 report from market intelligence firm IDC. These new estimates are more than triple the US$700 million that Deloitte Global predicted in January. “Video games will clearly be the lead rationale for people to pick up a VR this year,” Lewis Ward, IDC’s research director of gaming, says in the report. VR headsets gained extra attention this year with the March launch of the Oculus Rift and the upcoming launch of the PlayStation VR. But Mack Flavelle, founder of Vancouver-based VR consultancy firm Hammer and Tusk, says consumers shouldn’t expect 2016 to be its breakout year. “There are lots of brands,

there’s a ton of money, there’s billions of investment dollars, there’s great technology, there’s advertising that’s bubbling up,” he says. “And this is all despite the fact everybody knows there are no consumers yet.” The IDC report estimates VR hardware sales will reach 9.6 million in 2016 and could eclipse 64.8 million units by 2020.

UBC develops stoner detector

University of British Columbia (UBC) professor has developed a device that can help police detect stoned drivers, the university announced on 4/20 Day, or April 20, a day when many people around the world protest for eased marijuana laws. The news came on the day that Canada’s health minister, Jane Philpott, announced that her government will introduce legislation in spring 2017 to legalize marijuana in Canada. The UBC Okanagan engineering professor, Mina Hoorfar, describes her device as a microfluidic breath analyzer, which can detect the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in a person’s breath. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. “It’s very easy to test for THC as it is a big molecule that stays in your breath for a long time,” says Hoorfar, who was recently

named UBC Okanagan’s researcher of the year. With Hoorfar’s device, a police officer can determine within seconds whether a person is impaired, according to UBC. The small device costs about $15 to manufacture and is Bluetooth-enabled so data can be collected using a smartphone.

Startup pushes Tesla 3

local tech startup is offering to cover part of the cost of its employees investing in a Tesla Model 3. Burnaby-based Traction on Demand will pay the US$1,000 deposit for all of its nearly 200 employees if they wish to purchase the electric vehicle. Tesla Motors says it’s received more than 325,000 pre-sales as of April 7 for the US$35,000 car. Chris Peacock, Traction on Demand’s vice-president of marketing, said the company wants to do more to commit to

environmentally sustainable technologies. Peacock was among the half-dozen employees who had already placed a deposit on the Model 3 by Monday, when CEO Greg Malpass told workers at a morning huddle Traction on Demand would cover all deposits. Peacock said 65 per cent of staff respondents in a survey said they would take the company up on the offer. If that informal poll represents the final tally, Traction could end up spending US$130,000 to cover the deposits. .

SENIOR EXECUTIVE ROLES

SHOW ME THE MONEY: B.C. TECH PAY SURVEY

$717

B.C. tech companies “will have to start paying more”

espite what appears already to be handsome compensation, B.C.’s technology employers will have to step up pay rates if they want to attract world-class talent. That is according to Allison Rutherford, executive director of the HR Tech Group, which has been producing its annual B.C. tech salary survey for 23 years. It is the leading such survey for B.C. and is sold to tech companies across Canada. “Truthfully, to be competitive internationally, our tech companies will have to start paying more,” Rutherford told BC Tech as she released highlights of HR’s 2015 survey. “The demand for talent has shot up, and the new companies entering the market here are putting upward pressures on tech wages.” Rutherford said salary increases are already being seen in “anything related to mobile/GUI [graphical user interface] developers.” HR Tech Group represents the largest tech companies in B.C. across all tech sectors, and has expanded its survey for the next release this September.

“Another growth sector for our tech industry is the VFX [visual effects] animation sector”, Rutherford says. “We have expanded the survey to collect wage data on specific VFX/animation roles that are increasingly in demand in this rapidly growing sector. It will be amazing to get a sense of how VFX wages in Vancouver compare internationally.” The most recent HR Group survey, done with Willis Towers Watson, an international consulting firm, includes data from more than 12,000 employees in more than 95 organizations. It breaks out mid-level wages separately from senior management and executive compensation, as shown in the chart below. For complete copies of the HR Group B.C.

GROW UP

BCTIA fosters startups through its HyperGrowth acceleration strategy BAILA LAZARUS

hen Greg Smith, CEO and founder of Thinkific, was accepted to the BC Technology Industry Association (BCTIA) HyperGrowth program in 2015, his business was already doing very well.

Shamil Hargovan, co-founder of Wiivv: 3D printing tech firm selected for second round of Hypergrowth support at the BC Technology Industry Association HUB campus | SUBMITTED

The three-year-old company had a strong revenue model and product-market fit, was operating globally, had paying customers and counted companies like HootSuite as clients. And it had tapped into a $45 billion self-education market growing at nine per cent annually. Smith’s goal was simple: keep growing. After going through the application and pitch process, Thinkific was chosen, along with RentMoola and EDP Software, out of 30 applications. Being part of HyperGrowth means having direct access to extensive training and mentoring, but it also

involves a six-month serious commitment. The entire teams of the selected companies moved into the BCTIA’s 26,000-square-foot new offices in Discovery Parks on Great Northern Way for six months. They attended workshops on marketing, sales and other business operations, met with advisers on a regular basis and put immediately into practice any new strategies they had learned around pricing, branding and digital marketing, for example. “Given six months to participate, it meant we could implement the advice we were getting, look at results, come back and get more advice on those results,” says Smith. “We could show our mentors that we were executing on what we were talking about and then continue to get advice on the next steps.” Within six months, Thinkific’s revenue had jumped by 300 per cent and Smith had to increase his staff from six to 16. The bonus is that he is able to keep in touch with the advisers now that he has completed the program. “I was surprised at the mentors that they were able to get from the Vancouver community,” says Smith. “People came to give us advice from HootSuite, from BuildDirect, from Microsoft, and even large service companies like DDB marketing.” Having these kinds of advisers participate was key to the program, says HyperGrowth program manager Clayton Weir. “Companies like Global Relay and ACL have very substantial , locally grown technology businesses with very solid annual revenue and they’re in a position where they can pay it forward,” Weir explains. “They believe very strongly in encouraging the next generation of new technology companies.”

Accepted into Hypergrowth last year, the company now has 26 employees, a fresh $5 million in funding and is expanding its rental pay system into the United States and the United Kingdom | SUBMITTED

That support is key to a strong tech sector in B.C., Weir says. And it comes from the executives-in-residence at BCTIA, as well as from external sources. “Those advisers tended to gravitate to the startups from their world – offering additional advice, connections and, in some cases, investing their own money.” As an example, Weir says, the director of marketing of ACL might go into a meeting with the HyperGrowth teams and say, “This is was we do from a best-practices perspectives for acquiring customers.” “It’s not flashy stuff like pitch competitions but it’s the really solid backbone of company knowledge,” says Weir. “We’re trying to help them have infrastructure to keep their revenue growth on a trajectory that will pass $10 million at some point.” The HyperGrowth program was conceived of as a key element of the BCTIA’s new facility. It launched in July 2015, just six months after the association moved into its offices. The success of the program convinced Weir and the BCTIA of the need for and benefit of secondstage acceleration. Their goal now is to run approximately three programs every two years. Companies should cap out at about six employees. Criteria for selection includes market opportunities, meaningful differentiation within that market, the ability to execute, a positive track record and the ability of BCTIA to actually make a difference. “There’s the question of coachability, as well,” says Weir. “Are you receptive to what we have to offer?” Thinkific’s Smith cautions companies who may be thinking of applying for next year, and are in early-stage startup, that this program is not for those floundering or stuck in execution.

“HyperGrowth wasn’t looking for companies that didn’t know what to do next,” says Smith. “They’re looking for companies that have product-market fit, a customer base and sales and are looking to expand them. So it wasn’t us coming in saying, ‘Let’s do something radically different.’ This is what we’re doing, how do we improve it and help it grow exponentially.” Smith was at 16 staff at the time of the interview, and still hiring.

FINTECH

At least 24 financial technology companies have launched in British Columbia in the past five years

TYLER ORTON

BILL TAM | CEO, BC TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION We were the first on the scene for a Bitcoin ATM, and have a history of innovations in payment technologies, foreign exchange and Internetbased financial transactions

erhaps no tech sector has seen such startling out-of-theblocks acceleration as financial technology (FinTech). In February 2015, Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District launched Canada’s first FinTech cluster Its aim was to connect big-name financial institutions like Interac, Moneris and CIBC with startups creating technologies for alternative lending, peer-to-peer money transfers and access to crypto-currencies like Bitcoin. The BC Technology Industry Association (BCTIA) jumped on board the following October when it announced a partnership with PayPal Canada to create the province’s first “formalized” FinTech cluster. PayPal will provide FinTechs attending BCTIA workshops with mentorship and direct feedback about how to make money. FinTechs are typically startups offering digital services and products aimed at sidestepping consumers’ reliance on big financial institutions. Vancouver-based nTrust now enables digital wallet users to load money onto a smartphone app to buy products at select vendors. Control’s mobile app allows merchants to check out payments in real time on a mobile device, alerting them to any fraudulent activity. Canada’s big banks weren’t clamouring to offer customers these kinds of digital services a few years ago when online banking was in its infancy.

But Jonathan Bixby, general partner at Stanley Park Ventures, says the cost of launching startups and the ease of developing new technology combined with Vancouver’s remote location has made the West Coast ripe for a FinTech cluster far from Canada’s financial core. “If you want to be in the establishment, you’re not living out in Vancouver,” says Bixby, whose startup foundry has helped launch local FinTechs such as Koho and Lendful. This, he says, has led to B.C. entrepreneurs and consumers looking for alternatives to services offered by big banks. Since 2011, 24 FinTechs have launched in B.C., bringing the total to 29, according to figures from the BCTIA. “We were the first on the scene for a Bitcoin ATM, and have a history of innovations in payment technologies, foreign exchange and Internet-based financial transactions,” states BCTIA CEO Bill Tam. “In some ways, Vancouver not being a top-tier financial centre has afforded us the opportunity to think outside the box and innovate where others can’t or won’t.” And big-name financial institutions are slowly taking notice of what’s going on in Vancouver.

Financing FinTech

JON JONES | PRESIDENT, TRULIOO

[The banking industry is] also taking a waitand-see attitude and they’re going to pick off winners [to acquire].

Nasdaq honoured the Koho banking platform this year with its FinTech Innovation Award for best financial technology company. Last December, Trulioo raised $15 million in venture capital in a funding round led by American Express Ventures – one of the largest amounts raised by a Canadian FinTech in 2015, according to the company. That same week, accounting giant KPMG named Trulioo as one of the 50 global startups to watch in its FinTech 100 report. Last year, Vancouver’s Zafin was named among Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50, joining seven other FinTech firms on the list. Trulioo president Jon Jones says partnering with AmEx “gives a lot of weight in terms of the merits that the banking industry can see and the value of our capabilities as well.” These types of partnerships and formal clusters are all part of a “dual strategy” on the part of big financial institutions, according to Stanley Park Ventures’ Bixby. “They are going to try to compete. They all have innovation teams, they have hired top designers in UI [user interfaces] and developers,” he says. “They’re also taking a wait-and-see attitude, and they’re going to pick off winners [to acquire].” Picking those winners might come easily for some institutions as FinTechs cope with the swift growth hitting the industry. Over the past year, customer volume for Grow was

between two and two-and-a-half-times greater than what founder Kevin Sandhu expected when the alternative lending service launched in 2014. The company raised $10.2 million in venture capital last year from PlentyOfFish founder Markus Frind, and Sandhu plans to double his workforce of about 20 people by the end of 2016. Sandhu adds that about one-quarter of his staff moved from elsewhere in Canada to work in Vancouver. On the flip side, a similar lending service, Mogo immediately fell flat when it hit the markets through an initial public offering in June 2014 that raised $50 million. It closed its opening day at five per cent below its opening share price of $10 and now sits at about $2.36 a share. But this January, Mogo signed a marketing deal with Postmedia worth at least $50 million as part of a revenue-sharing agreement. Mogo CEO Dave Feller said his startup was looking for a media partner with significant reach to get its name out there to new audiences. Postmedia owns newspapers across Canada including the Vancouver Sun, The Province and 24 Hours. Its digital assets include Canada. com and canoe.ca. Mogo will pay Postmedia a performance-based revenue share of four per cent of its existing revenue and 11 per cent of its incremental revenue in exchange for $50 million in “media value.” É

MEGABATTLE Renegade U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden warns of the “perfect record of a private life”

TYLER ORTON

JIAN PEI |

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY’S RESEARCH CHAIRMAN IN BIG DATA SCIENCE

The best way to address privacy concerns is to enable everyone to control [his or her] privacy, and trade privacy for services and life quality fairly according to [his or her] will

dward Snowden doesn’t hesitate to paint an Orwellian portrait of the future for Vancouverites inclined to be passive observers of creeping government surveillance. It might be fitting, as he spoke for more than an hour April 5 via live stream from Russia, his head blanketing a giant screen before a sold-out crowd at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

“Rather than being partner to government, we have become subject to it,” he says as his imposing image dominates the stage, eliciting images of George Orwell’s 1984. But the American whistleblower and former Central Intelligence Agency employee, who in 2013 leaked thousands of National Security Agency documents that revealed widespread government surveillance, also took aim at the private sector during a big-data webcast hosted by Simon Fraser University (SFU). Between sharing his insights on the Panama Papers and Bill C-51 (now the Anti-terrorism Act, 2015), Snowden criticized corporate efforts to collect consumer data for targeted online advertisements. Targeted ads rely on metadata – or, as Snowden calls it, “a perfect record of a private life” – to learn about users’ personal information, such as age, sex and buying habits, which is collected through online activity and other means. “These are all things that increasingly we have access to in the corporate context because there are not stringent enough regulations about how metadata should be handled,” he says. BC Civil Liberties Association policy director Micheal Vonn, a panellist at the event, followed up on Snowden’s point. She told the audience that while federal regulators have gone after Facebook over metadata, there’s actually no order-making power mandated to regulators. “And moral suasion has proved to be, how shall I say,

less than effective,” she says. Fellow panellist Peter Chow-White, director of SFU’s Genomics and Networks Analysis Lab, says many Canadians behave online as if they are concerned about privacy. But in reality the “laws are not quite there” when it comes to protecting personal data shared through social media. “Data that is kept by Canadian companies in Canada, we can do something about that [through] privacy laws. But Facebook, we can’t. Once it goes across borders, that’s out of our control, that’s out of our jurisdiction,” he says. “We’re playing in a data landscape that’s somewhat under control – a lot of it’s not,” says Tagga CEO JeanGuy Faubert, whose Vancouver-based tech media company collects raw data strewn across social media platforms. Advertisers are stuck between a rock and a hard place, he adds. “On one hand, advertisers want to collect as much data as possible at the individual level, about their target market, which makes sense since the modern-day consumer is demanding a fully personal and intimate experience,” he says. “But on the other hand, those same consumers are reluctant to willingly give up any real access to their personal data.” Faubert says ads will likely die on the vine over the next few years if they’re not targeted. “People want relevance, not random cluttered ads.”

WHISTLEBLOWER, FUGITIVE AND FORMER U.S. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY EMPLOYEE

Snowden pointed out that advertisers did not have access to metadata when ads began rolling on TV sets. Even still, he says, those advertisements proved valuable. “We can comprehend an Internet where ads are less profitable … but still effective,” he says Leaks of sensitive medical records have been a sore spot for British Columbians, and Jian Pei, SFU’s research chairman in big data science, says privacy concerns also come into play in the health-care industry. Last fall, Pacific Blue Cross opened a big-data lab at SFU to advance computational health research. Pei says when dealing with this kind of sensitive data, society has to decide on the optimal trade off between privacy and advancement. “There are many things that need to be done technically, such as anonymization of data, but more has to be achieved through policy and better understanding of privacy and its value. The best way to address privacy concerns is to enable everyone to control [his or her] privacy, and can trade privacy for services and life quality fairly according to [his or her] will.” Meanwhile, the provincial government is making efforts to release big data following the unveiling of its tech strategy in January. In March, Victoria announced it would open up traffic webcam data, which includes GPS information, to developers looking to use the data to create products. Invoke Media head of engagement Jordan Eshpeter, whose Vancouver-based digital services provider has partnered with car-sharing co-operative Modo on initiatives to connect cars online, says it would be risky for a

company to use that kind of open data for a core product. “Ultimately while it’s open, another government, for example, could close it,” he says. “If it were me, I wouldn’t base a business on necessarily open data, but in terms of a government service, governments should be building on their open data 100 per cent.” É

There are not stringent enough regulations about how metadata should be handled

More data has been created in the past two years than in the entire previous history of the human race.

Within four years, 1.7 megabytes of new information will be created every second for every human in the world.

There are at least 245 million professionally installed video surveillance cameras active in the world.

By 2020 more than 50 billion smart devices will be connected, all capable of collecting and sharing data.

ate Armstrong recalls feeling helpless last fall as the Syrian refugee crisis unfolded. There would be 25,000 refugees entering Canada by the end of February, and the director of Emily Carr University’s social and interactive media centre wasn’t convinced they would all crack the code to enter the job market successfully. But since November, Armstrong has worked with angel investors, tech startups and educational institutes to commit $280,000 in donations and in-kind support to teach code and web development to 100 refugees. The Startland initiative (stylized as “#Startland”) plans to raise another $150,000 through the FundRazr crowdfunding platform to provide refugees entering the tech workforce with free work space, laptops and smartphones. “We’re in desperate need of new coders,” Armstrong says. “It’s sort of a win-win because the technology sector needs new people, and there is a skills gap.” A 2014 BC Technology Industry Association report found the gross domestic product (GDP) of the province’s tech sector has grown by 12 per cent since 2007. B.C.’s overall GDP has grown six per cent over the same period. Meanwhile, about 84,000 British Columbians are working in the tech sector, and startups have long lamented about a shortage in talent. Premier Christy Clark announced in mid-January as part of B.C.’s technology strategy that the province

would begin phasing in coding to the school curriculum this fall to deepen the tech talent pool. Clark said Victoria would also streamline the B.C. Provincial Nominee Program to bring in specialized tech talent from overseas to fill in the labour market gaps. But Carla Morales, director of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. (ISS), said the Startland initiative stands out because the private sector is taking the reins from the government to find talent shortage solutions. “That for me is the future of business,” she says, adding that the scope of the initiative is the first of its kind. The ISS has partnered with Startland on the initiative to provide it with access to and support for refugees entering B.C. Armstrong admits it was a necessity because none of the organizers had prior experience working with refugees. The labour markets are being evaluated to ensure refugees are being aligned with in-demand jobs, and Morales doesn’t expect that to be an issue for clients trained to code. But applicants to the program could face major language barriers or be dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. “It’s a very individualized process,” she says. “You might have one client that comes in that has excellence language [skills], that may be interested in code, that may be the age of 21… and then you may have a client on the other end.” B.C. is expected to welcome about 3,000 refugees from Syria, but the ISS does not have a breakdown of the demographics entering the province. If B.C.’s intake heavily favoured children or the elderly, Startland might be left with few refugees able to join the program. “It’s really hard to say,” Morales says. “Right now, I don’t have a profile, but we know we’ve seen those clients in the past.” While the Startland initiative will be open to all refugees no matter their countries of origin, Armstrong says the program would not likely start until Syrian refugees arriving in B.C. have had time to adjust. In addition to partners such as the ISS, the Startland initiative includes Wantoo, Lighthouse Labs, Red Academy, CodeCore Bootcamp and BrainStation. Armstrong adds Microsoft and Espresso Capital have also provided seed donations to the initiative. While 100 refugees will be trained to code initially, Armstrong says Startland will “step that up and get it moving.” É

TRACTION ON DEMAND, BURNABY Q “Traction is a

CRM [customer relationship management] consulting and software development firm,” the company’s web says, but founder and CEO Greg Malpass claims the company has grown beyond this to do so much more. Revenue growth of 1,003 per cent over the past five years was driven by not only consolidating data that lets sales staff better manage customer relationships, but managing a company’s entire value chain from suppliers to consumers. “Once you have [a CRM] system in, you have a very strong listening centre and speaking centre to your customer,” Malpass says. “Now you need the rest of your supply chain and your value chain to be able to keep up.” Recent development work has sought to help companies manage staff, trucks and, effectively, just about any resource at their disposal. It is helping companies reroute trucks to make better use of the vehicles. It has also devised software to help hospitality businesses manage seasonal hiring demands, making it easier to contact and re-engage past staff as well as gauge the need for new staff. “Every company is becoming a technology company,” Malpass explains. “We’re essentially going in and understanding their processes, understanding what people do day in and day out, and then speeding it up with technology.”

ZAFIN LABS INC., VANCOUVER Q Boosting bank

profits isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time, but for Zafrin it’s been a mutually beneficial arrangement that’s boosted its own revenues 343 per cent in the past five years. By allowing banks to correlate customer data with available services, Zafrin provides customized information on the products clients want while maximizing the value of those services to the financial institution. “We determine what is the price, what is the rate, they should be charging you,” Karim Somji, founder and CEO of Zafin, explains. “It’s all about how you provide the right product to the right client through the right channel at the right price.” And, of course, it all has to be done legitimately. “When you call up the bank and say, ‘You’re charging me these fees …,’ they should be able to know why they’re charging you the fees and they should be able to explain that to you in very simple English,” Somji says. Its systems allow staff to provide these explanations, ideally improving customer management. Zafin has landed contracts with four of Canada’s five major banks, and operates eight offices in four countries around the globe to serve its international clients. This year, it’s focusing on opportunities in North America, building on a partnership with Fidelity National Information Services. While it works with four of the five big banks in Canada, the U.S. is home to approximately 5,500 commercial banks. “We are still scratching the surface when it comes to the U.S. market,” Somji says.

AQUATIC INFORMATICS INC., VANCOUVER Q Water

management has become a global priority as climate change alters precipitation and countries seek to maintain access to clean water. Those factors have allowed Aquatic Informatics to clean up when it comes to environmental data, gathering real-time information on environmental conditions that help governments and water managers better understand this precious resource. “There’s a lot of reasons why you would monitor water, both water quality and flow. We have the data management system that can take all the data and organize it and manage it,” says Ed Quilty, president and CEO of Aquatics Informatics. “It can be for flood forecasting, it can be for water allocation, for farmers, for drinking water.” Aquatics Informatics’ systems issues alerts that trigger action plans should there be a flood risk or pollution event; alternatively, it might suggest that stream flows are such that power generation can be deferred until sales are more lucrative. “You need to have water expertise, because it’s not only about [sourcing] the data; you have to know about the data,” Quilty says. Revenues for Aquatics Information have increased 214 per cent over the past five years as the company expanded to 50 countries and landed a major project with the U.S. Geological Survey.

REAL ESTATE WEBMASTERS INC., NANAIMO Q Real estate is one of the most hotly discussed topics in B.C., and Morgan Carey is helping agents garner their share of the chatter and the transactions. With reported growth of 190 per cent over the past five years, Real Estate Webmasters has ascended to $13 million in revenues and 150 staff with a portfolio of services that handles everything from hosting websites to content management. It’s an end-to-end service that stops short of managing the actual real estate transaction. “Part of our pitch is, ‘Give me $50,000, I want to make you $250,000, and when I do, you come back and give me $100,000 and I’ll make you $500,000,” Carey says. “We get them in the mindset that the more you spend, the more you make. And then we prove that positive.” This year, it’s opening an office in Vancouver, and embarking on a new partnership with InsideSalesAgents.com, a Florida company in which Carey has a 70 per cent stake. The new venture will help property brokers convert leads into sales. But real estate also comes down to bricks and mortar, and Carey’s activities also include Carey Real Estate Holdings, which pursues construction opportunities, and Rewsters Restaurant, located adjacent to the company’s Nanaimo campus.

INSPIRED WORK SPACE

Landlords, employers vie to create the coolest tech office environments PAT JOHNSON

ech companies competing to recruit and retain millennial employees are driving Vancouver’s office market, demanding downtown spaces with plenty of amenities. But high-tech tenant requirements are unique and do not always fit the ideal tenant profile, agents say.

For instance, despite the image of sprawling spaces with foosball tables and lounge seating, tech companies do not need more space per employee than traditional businesses. “They need less,” says Robin Buntain, vice-president of office leasing for Avison Young. “Their per-square-foot density per person is less than a law firm because most of the people are in open workstations, so generally their work areas are pretty tight but then you have amenity space.” Collaborative areas and innovative arrangements

can make a place look bigger, but they can pack in more tech workers than an equivalent space filled with cubicles and prestigious corner offices. The tech boom is great in a downtown suffering the first double-digit office vacancies in a decade, but it comes with challenges, adds Colin Scarlett, executive vice-president of Colliers International in Vancouver. Tech companies want flexible leases because their staff teams tend to increase or contract more than other sectors.

Inspired work space

“Their demands and requirements are diametrically opposed to a landlord’s requirements,” which require long-range planning, he says. If they can’t offer flexibility, Scarlett suggests landlords sweeten their leases with “a more robust amenity package,” such as gym facilities, facilities for bikes, more diverse retail and food offerings that appeal to employees. Studies show that local tech firms are putting more thought into quality space as a tenant recruitment tool. Each year, CBRE surveys local tech CEOs about what they view as the most important things in recruiting employees. Last year, fewer than 20 per cent cited real estate, says Kevin Nelson, CBRE senior vice-president. This year, more than half did. “Millennials don’t anticipate owning their home, but they want to believe in the company they work for and they want to feel inspired by the space they’re in,” says Nelson. The pressure is on because of major expansions by big tech firms that have swallowed up thousands of local workers. “If Amazon comes into our city and hires 1,000 people and Microsoft doubles down and Sony doubles down and HootSuite is holding job fairs, all the other, smaller players

are sitting there saying, Holy crow, I can’t recruit anyone right now,” says Nelson. “So I think we are finally playing the game that other cities are seeing.” The tech scene has exploded in recent years, now employing more than 100,000 in B.C., mostly in Vancouver. The sector generates more than $23 billion in revenue and $15 billion in gross domestic product, and already occupies as much as one-third of the office space in downtown Vancouver. Tech businesses are now moving up the real estate food chain, Nelson says. In some cases they are able to do this without increasing their rent because they downsizing, with less “me” space, more “we” space. Tech employees are often working with what Nelson calls a “free-floating address.” Using laptops and headsets, they navigate throughout the office, or even offsite, collaborating in ad hoc “touchdown spots.” Filing cabinets disappear as everything is digitized. Where once a coffee station may have been hidden, it is now a focal point of the office as a casual meet up or work space. Nelson’s colleague Blair Quinn, CBRE executive vice president, says transit is central in the lives of tech workers, and millennials generally. “They don’t want to drive,” Quinn says. And the equation is simple: “The core is the best service area for transit and the suburban markets always suffered on transit.” Once the location is nailed down, the amenities package heats up. Young workers are looking for more than a paycheque. “They’re looking for culture,” Quinn says. “They are looking for lots of free organic food, beers on Friday; they’re looking for a community.” With talented employees enjoying the luxury of choosing the coolest work environment, companies – and landlords – are fighting for an edge. Perhaps the edgiest tech office speculation is Vancouver’s former police station at 312 Main Street in the dodgy Downtown Eastside, considered Canada’s poorest and Vancouver’s slummiest postal code. The city selected the shuttered 100,000-square-foot site as a potential tech hub two years ago and renovations started late in 2015. The city has already spent $1.1 million on upgrading the building, while the Vancity Community Foundation earmarked another $1.5 million for the project. The foundation is serving as the project’s landlord, while the Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) will monitor its economic impact and try to bring in investors and mentors. ” É

TECH IS ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE BILL TAM | B.C.’s technology is powered by the best and most talented minds in the province: individuals literally aiming to change the world

S At $23 billion in annual industry revenue, the entirety of B.C. tech is about a tenth the size of Apple and a third the size of Google

hareholder returns, revenue and profit growth, investment and jobs. These are all hallmarks of measuring the business success of the tech industry that we know to be true. But beyond the numbers is the most important measure of all. BC Tech is all about the people. For several years now, I’ve had the fortune of working with some of the best and brightest of B.C.’s tech leaders and entrepreneurs – thought leaders who are challenging the status quo and forging new pathways. I continue to be amazed at how much there is to be inspired by. Technology, probably more so than any other industry, is a harbinger of optimism. I see this every time I visit a tech company. Instead of seeing people who constantly compla i n or just tolerate thei r work for a paycheque, I’m greeted by scores of people who love their work and genuinely believe they are making a difference. These are the people who are out to change the world for the better. Granted, British Columbia is still a relatively small tech jurisdiction. At $23 billion in annual industry revenue, the entirety of B.C. tech is about a tenth the size of Apple and a third the size of Google. Still, it’s the potential we gauge – not the size –and small groups tend to have a disproportionate impact on outcomes. As Peter Thiel observed in his book Zero to One, “From the Founding Fathers in politics to the Royal Society in science to Fairchild Semiconductor’s “traitorous eight” in business, small groups of people bound together by a sense of mission have changed the world for the better.” The B.C. tech community works as a network – not a hierarchy. Hierarchies fail to recognize the brilliance of organic innovation

They’re honest enough to admit when they’re wrong, and they find ways to improve. SELFLESS IN SHARING Q They regard information and knowledge as something to be shared and pay it forward in teaching what they’ve learned to add value to others. WILLINGNESS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE Q They

and the network effects of ideas. In most technology pursuits, the path is neither clear nor pre-determined. It requires constant iteration and an ability to fuse information together with insights in a rapid fashion. The way startups and modern tech companies evolve and grow is very network-driven. Any such network is powered by the people – and propelled by inspiration. Entrepreneurs like Jeff Booth, Sharhzad Rafati, Andrew Reid and Warren Roy, or change agents like Laurie Schultz, Keith Spencer, Alan Winter and Jill Tipping all share a common characteristic: an innate ability to inspire others. Being inspiring: it’s hard to learn, let alone train for. Yet, we see evidence of it everywhere in the B.C. tech community. In our context, it tends to be amplified by certain characteristics: AUTHENTICITY IN THEIR BELIEF Q Their core mission

is both powerful and authentic. They pursue the quest with courage and conviction, knowing the seemingly unbeatable odds. COMMITMENT TO BEING BETTER Q They’re constantly

learning, recognizing shortcomings and adapting.

recognize that there’s nothing like having to be accountable to others to up your game. Over the past year, we’ve concentrated on magnifying the impact of the inspiration we find in our community. From our HyperGrowth program to leadership talks to our C-Councils, we’ve used the BC Technology Industry Association Innovation Hub as a platform for leaders to share triumphs, dissect failures, relay insights and ultimately inspire legions of entrepreneurs and startups who are poised to enrich the network that is B.C. technology. The future of B.C. tech lies in the strength of its people. That can never be underestimated. É Bill Tam is the CEO of the BC Technology Industry Association (BCTIA). Prior to BCTIA, Bill was president and CEO of EQO Communications, a mobile app startup, a partner at SpringBank TechVentures and a founding executive at MetroNet – one of the most successful telecom startups in Canada. He currently lends his expertise as an industry adviser for BCNet, Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia and volunteers his time supporting students and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Recon Instruments CEO Dan Eisenhardt | CHUNG CHOW

ocket Builders, the high-tech consultancy group, has revealed its 14th annual Ready to Rocket list in Vancouver, highlighting B.C. companies it believes will grow significantly over the coming year. The list is divided between information and communications technology (ICT), life sciences and clean-tech companies. The following is a look at three booster-stage tech firms that are ready to rocket, along with our picks from the list.

| 29

2016 RECON INSTRUMENTS Q Tech giant Intel has pumped up its wearable technology portfolio with the acquisition of Vancouver-based smartglasses-maker Recon Instruments, one of BC Tech’s top picks from the Ready to Rocket list. Recon’s team will become part of Intel’s new devices group but the local workforce is sticking around its Yaletown offices instead of relocating to the new parent’s headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif. The deal closed June 16 of last year. No financial details of the transaction were released. However, an Intel spokeswoman said reports circulating on blogs pegging the deal’s value at $175 million were not accurate. Recon CEO Dan Eisenhardt also refused to comment on the sale price, but, in a blog post, he confirmed the deal would give his company greater resources to advance its wearable technology. “Going forward, we’ll continue leading the smart eyewear category for sports, and we’ll be able to bring our technology and innovation to completely new markets and use cases where activity-specific information, delivered instantly, can change the game,” he says. “The team and I couldn’t be more enthusiastic.” Recon was the first to develop goggles featuring a wearable heads-up display (HUD) allowing athletes to see their performance metrics projected before their eyes while they exercise. Intel began investing in the Vancouver startup in September 2013 with a $4 million capital injection. AXINE Q The industrial wastewater treated at Axine’s

lab at the University Endowment Lands isn’t the prettiest, admits CEO Jonathan Rhone. “[The water] is so toxic that it’s being put into a truck and driven away to be put in either a deep well, or incinerated or to be put into a landfill,” he says. Axine’s on-site treatment for polluted water uses electrolytic cells that react with organic compounds and break them down into water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and a high-quality stream of hydrogen. This process produces no sludge and uses no chemicals. “When you talk water or energy, you talk commodities,” said Chrysalix CEO Wal van Lierop, whose clean-tech venture capital firm has led funding rounds for Axine. “And in no commodity industry [will anybody] any

longer pay a premium. Cost is king in these industries.” Meanwhile, Rhone and van Lierop both say Axine’s method is relatively cheap compared with the alternatives. This year Axine begins pilot testing its new water treatment technology at industrial sites.” The market just for that application, treating wastewater that goes off-site, is roughly $5 billion a year,” Rhone says. EVENTBASE TECHNOLOGY INC. Q After Eventbase deployed more than 1,000 mobile beacons at last year’s South By Southwest festival, organizers were impressed with the Vancouver-based firm specializing in event management. So much so that the famed music, TV and business festival launched a new investment side of its business to invest US$2 million in the startup. CEO and co-founder Jeff Sinclair says the company is now expanding its Yaletown headquarters and is in the midst of doubling the headcount at its 75-person office. Meanwhile, Madrona Venture Group has just added another US$6 million to the company’s coffers with its latest investment. “It’s good to see U.S. [venture capital groups] taking an interest in Canadian companies and I think Vancouver as technology hub is continuing to grow on the global stage,” Sinclair says. “ É

Allocadia delves into black hole of marketing to help CMOs track spending

Baila Lazarus

Khristine Steuart | Cofounder, CMO, ALLOCADIA

CMOs are getting more of a seat at the executive table . Because of that, it’s not OK for them to show up and say, ‘I don’t know how we’re aligning our spend’. They have to have a handle on their core operational data

hristine Steuart remembers running down a hallway urgently trying to deal with corrupted files. The marketing expert was managing multimillion-dollar portfolios but was still at the whim of unreliable, hard to understand spreadsheets.

“I thought, ‘What are we even looking at here? Our spend? Our forecast? W hat are we even trying to accomplish?’” Today, Steuart and twin sister Katherine Berry seem to have found a solution to the age-old dilemna raised more than 100 years ago by department store retailer John Wannamaker: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” Steuart and Berry are co-founders, and CEO and CPO respectively, of Allocadia marketing performance management, business solutions software that hits a key marketing pain point – campaign spending being swallowed up by a black hole. “When we started working with clients, we realized they all had the same problem – inability to plan, measure and demonstrate accountability to their executive team on their marketing spend,” says Steuart. “We thought, there’s got to be a better way.” So they got to work on a prototype. “I remember we sketched the first mockup on the napkin in a coffee shop,” says Katherine. “We’ve been solving the same problem since the beginning. We just keep innovating as we go.” Together, the sisters needed to outsource little in the beginning. Steuart took care of marketing and Berry, a web designer, took care of front-end coding. They put it all together and started pitching at trade shows. The first customer they found in 2010 is still with them. Eventually, they hired programmers and other staff to start building out the business. It wasn’t long before they realized they had really hit on a need.

Steuart credits the success of their product on the trend of businesses going digital in their marketing, with more responsibility falling on the shoulders of chief marketing officers. “CMOs are getting more of a seat at the executive table,” says Steuart. “Because of that, it’s not OK for them to show up and say, ‘I don’t know how we’re aligning our spend.’ They have to have a handle on their core operational data.” The need for Allocadia’s service was so strong out of the gate, the company was supporting itself financially within a year and a half. From working out of a garage, Berry and Steuart have just under 100 employees and have raised $30 million in financing. Allocadia is ranked No. 2 for B.C. information and communications technology (ICT) companes in Rocket Builders’ Ready to Rocket list for 2016. The company’s growth has meant adding 15 to 20 people each year in marketing, implementation, sales and post-sales. They’ve just recently expanded their downtown Vancouver office space, adding 4,000 square feet. But they are cautious to maintain a slow and steady growth rate. “We’ve always done responsible growth,” says Berry. “A lot of high-tech companies [believe in] growth at all costs – really aggressive growth rates. [They] are making that shift to be fiscally responsible. For us, we’ve always been that, so it’s not a shift we have to make.” One of Allocadia’s newest clients is Vision Critical, which develops software to collect and analyze customer feedback.

| 31

Thao Ngo, vice-president of marketing for Vision Critical, says the value of what Allocadia was doing was clear just from seeing a demo. “We are a data-driven marketing team,” says Ngo. “We always look at a ton of analytics to make our decisions. We wanted to have good data on how our programs were running, based on the spend; not only how many leads, revenue, etc.” Allocadia allows various people in the organization to have different access levels for budgets, she says.“It streamlines the process and makes things quicker, as well.” “In the past, people had their own way of managing things, so now we all have the view looking at the same numbers; we only have strategic conversations about how we’re going to do marketing spend.” The system also makes training new hires a simple task.

“I can train anybody on Allocadia in two minutes and they get going right away,” says Ngo. “It’s easy to use and intuitive.” This was one of Allocadia’s goals from the beginning, Berry explains. “Marketers really want to spend time being creative and building great campaigns, but they also have to run the business and manage their budget,” says Berry. “So we try to make that more fun and interesting, easy to do and efficient so they can focus on the creative side of marketing.” With marketing performance management becoming more of an expectation, it would seem the sky’s the limit for where the product can go. “Every single marketer in the world manages, plans and measures their marketing spend,” says Berry. “So the market opportunity is massive.” É

TECHNOLOGY DIRECTORY

A comprehensive listing of technology companies in British Columbia, organized by industry sector. How companies get listed in BC Tech BC Tech is the most complete and comprehensive guide to the province’s high-tech industries, and we at Business in Vancouver pride ourselves on providing the most up-to-date information available at press time. We gather company information by searching online resources and business publications, making initial contact by email and verifying specific company information by phone. In all, BIV makes a minimum of three attempts to verify each company’s information.

If we do not receive written or verbal confirmation that the data is correct, then we have no choice but to delete that company from the database. If your company is not listed in the directory, and the services that you provide fit into one of the categories listed in the index, you can either call BIV at 604-688-2398 and ask for Anna Liczmanska or email the pertinent information to annamae@biv.com. To ensure your listing, please contact a BIV Magazines representative and pay the guarantee of $35.
