Wow! When news like this comes out, it makes us so proud to be part of Montreal’s startup.

Have a look at what OnStartups had to say about our city:

Best big push by a city to build a startup ecosystemMontreal.

From very little in 2009, the startup tribe there has launched a new incubator last year (FounderFuel), gotten big institutional and government support from the province to create funds to match angel investments and subsidize programmers, built the largest angel group in Canada soon to be one of the largest in North America (AngesQuebec), hosted a successful first international startup festival, pulled off a successful startup competition, and created a vibrant co-working space (Notman House). And it keeps on going.”

Be sure to check the full list of best (and a few of the worst) of 2011 “The Big List: The Best and Worst Startup Stuff In 2011.”
