Founding Date: How Old or New are the Companies in the V100?

Sep 1, 2010  

by Duncan Kinney

One of the pieces of data we collect for the V100 is the year when the company was founded. We wondered, how old (or young) are Alberta’s top businesses? First off we wanted to look at the companies with roots. Below are all the companies that were founded before 1960. Behold the grey eminences of the V100.

Our apologies for the commas in the year field on the bottom. Click the individual bars to get the name of the company and its exact founding date.

With an average founding year of 1995 it’s no surprise that we find the majority of the V100 companies in this graph.
