????多倫多必須與在臨近的紐約和波士頓這些對初創(chuàng)企業(yè)具有很強(qiáng)吸引力的城市進(jìn)行競爭。但這個加拿大城市還是站穩(wěn)了腳跟，但當(dāng)?shù)氐某鮿?chuàng)企業(yè)數(shù)量比硅谷要少85%。多倫多的創(chuàng)業(yè)環(huán)境在加拿大首屈一指，但它也存在融資資金不足的問題；很多創(chuàng)業(yè)者只能自籌資金，或者向親朋好友借錢。有些人擔(dān)心如果不提供更好的融資選擇，多倫多的創(chuàng)業(yè)者可能轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)其他地區(qū)。

8. Toronto, Canada

????Who launched here?: Wave Accounting, FreshBooks, Achievers, Polar Mobile

????Average entrepreneur age: 35.6

????Average work hours per day: 8.7

????Regionally, Toronto has to compete against other startup magnet cities like NYC and Boston, but the Canadian locale holds its own even though it has 85% fewer startups than Silicon Valley. Despite claiming the top spot in Canada, though, Toronto suffers from insufficient capital sources; many entrepreneurs are forced to rely on self-funding or rounds from family and friends. Some fear that entrepreneurs from Toronto may head to other regions unless better funding options become available.
