Each year, MaRS conducts a survey of our “ventures,” the startups we support with venture services. As part of Data Catalyst’s work trying to discover trends and patterns in the innovation economy, we thought the MaRS venture survey results would provide an interesting window into the startup ecosystem in Toronto and surrounding region. The survey results aren’t all encompassing, of course, but with 597 companies reporting, it’s a valuable dataset that provides a snapshot of what’s happening in and around the city.
