> It's always nice to see BC tech wins being celebrated, but posts like this can feel disconnected from the reality most startups are facing. Clio is a nearly 20-year-old company; it's not representative of the early-stage ecosystem struggling right now with funding, retention, and the broader question of whether BC is even the right place to grow.
> 
> Me, as someone who's passionate about seeing the local tech scene thrive, I really wish the Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation would spend more time highlighting what’s being done to help the next generation of companies, not just the few that managed to survive a system that remains pretty hostile to new ventures.
> 
> Celebrating outliers is easy; supporting the rest takes actual leadership.
> 
> That said, I'm optimistic that Gavin Dew will show the leadership that many in the startup ecosystem are hoping for.

And an original post by Diana Gibson, follows:

> Contrary to what you usually hear about BC tech firms looking outside BC here's an inspiring story: Vancouver-based Clio just made a $1 billion acquisition of vLex, marking one of the largest legal tech deals ever.
