Vancouver Start-up Index - February 2008

The index ranks Vancouver-area start-ups based on an average of Alexa and Compete traffic rankings. Criteria and other details are available on the Start-up Index page.

Project Opus (Mixx Maker), EQO (Vibrator), and Kinzin (These Are My Kids) have seen ranking increases after launching Facebook applications recently. Bryght's ranking has fallen, likely a reflection of their acquisition by Raincity Studios. Writing community Protagonize has made an impressive 8 spot jump to #12.

If you have any suggestions for companies to add to the index, please post them in the comments for this post.
