Review of 11 Canadian tech companies to watch in 2020

Review of 11 Canadian tech companies to watch in 2020
For the past few years, thanks to the team at BetaKit, I’ve had the opportunity to share my thoughts on some of the companies I’m excited about in the Canadian tech landscape. I’ll be doing the same for the year ahead, but I first wanted to take a moment to review last year’s list, and see what 2020 had in store for each of them.
To say that it was an unusual year is an understatement, and it feels like a lifetime ago that I last wrote about each of them. Going through last year’s list feels like looking through old high school yearbooks full of young, optimistic faces before they marched off to face the harsh realities of the unforgiving real world. Ok, that might be a bit dramatic but you get the point. So let’s see how each of last year’s companies fared in 2020!
