Top Tech Startups in Vancouver, Canada in 2026

We started IcePanel because existing tools for software architecture suck. They’re slow, overcomplicated, and built for managers to enforce process, not for engineers to actually enjoy using. At our previous jobs, we spent too much time in meetings talking about architecture and not enough time actually building. Diagrams got stale, decisions got lost, and nothing felt connected to reality. So we started building something better. It began as a side project, let us snowboard most days in Whistler for a season, and people kept using it…We got to nearly $1M USD with just the founders before we hired. Today we’re a small, profitable team ($4.5M+ CAD ARR) building a collaborative modelling tool for software architecture. We care about staying lean, shipping fast, having fun, and building something people actually love.
