Toronto Software Companies

Branahm300 provides a list of Canadian IT companies, which is great when you’ve decided to look for a job. But there are always a couple of smaller companies that you can find at Toronto Venture Group or in other funding circles. Some of the most interesting companies and products I have found being developed here in Toronto include:

TechVibes has a great list of Toronto-based companies

    Opencola (dev mgr), 724 Solutions (dev mgr), RIMM, OpenText, 1X Inc. (CA), Lemontonic (lead), Lavalife, Omniterm (lead), Dude Research (director), etc.

    Mostly companies that I helped start and a few extras.

    Remember also Winfax/Delrina and everything spawn from their, like TiraWireless.

    I remember WinFax/Delrina, wow, that was a long time ago. I did some usability evaluations of one of their products as a student intern in 1995.

    I thought that TiraWireless was a BlueSpark company. And LavaLife, a different focus, but still a software solution. OpenText, RIM are both Waterloo companies aren’t they. But there’s Hummingbird and some others.

    I wonder what information I should capture about Toronto companies:

    • name
    • year started
    • number of employees
    • address
    • industry sector
    • uri
    • public/private

    Gary Will provides a great service, Waterloo TECH Digest, maybe grabbing RSS and news stories about the companies listed would be useful too. Kind of a Technorati or Blogdex for Toronto software companies.
