Techvibes, an online technology community of over 50,000, has listed institute B as an incubator in British Columbia worth investigating. In this ‘bubble of accelerators’ that we’re living in, it can be difficult to discover a Canadian company that can truly assist start-ups.
Other Canadian incubators mentioned include Tandem Launch, Extreme Venture Partners, and Accelerator Center. You can read the full post here.
FYI, we’re not your daddy’s incubator!

1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

Now if there’s one thing we love, it’s business. And if there’s another thing we love, it’s cake. Thanks to this little institute B ‘skool bus’ cake replica by Picture Your Cake (which appears to be at capacity with iB riders) our Tuesday was as fun as a Friday.
For your next office celebration, kids party, or whatever the occasion may be, you should contact Erlinda, founder of Picture Your Cake, to create custom edible cake toppers for your shindig’s dessert.

‘Love what you do and it will love you back’ — is this not so true? We at institute B fully identify with this message, which is a core belief of Cargoh.
Heard of Etsy? Cargoh is similar, but focuses primarily on artists, musicians, designers, and other various creative types. Through their e-commerce store, independent creators are able to be seen, heard, and collected in one marketplace.
One of the reasons we believe Cargoh will become wildly successful is that they abide by their motto. The two creatives behind this exciting, new online marketplace (who recently presented at Pecha Kucha Night in Vancouver) truly love what they’re doing and embody each of the messages blasted out through their social networks.
