VANCOUVER, BC – July 11, 2019

 

‍New Ventures BC (NVBC) this month announced their list of the top 25 startups in the 2019 startup competition. This list recognizes some of the most promising and fastest growing startups in British Columbia. Startups were selected by several separate committees of jurors and mentors comprised of industry experts, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. Startups on this list typically attract investor interest, or even get acquired. NiceJob advanced to this stage due to the judges' optimistic assessment of their market opportunity, distribution strategy, competitive analysis, financial estimates, overall potential, and NiceJob's growth which has exceeded $1.7 million annual recurring revenue in 2 years. Currently, NiceJob helps over 3200 small businesses across North America. NiceJob’s growth has been entirely funded by its own revenue, with no outside investment.
