Gumloop Opens Vancouver Office to Help Slow Canada’s “Brain Drain”

Gumloop, an AI automation startup originally founded in a Vancouver bedroom, has announced today that it is launching a new office in Vancouver. Max Brodeur-Urbas, Gumloop’s founder, shared the news in a public LinkedIn post:

Max Brodeur-Urbas
Founder at Gumloop • 2nd
Gumloop is opening a Vancouver office to help slow the brain drain in Canada 🇨🇦 we’re doing this for 2 reasons:

– Ambitious, and exceptional Canadians shouldn’t have to leave home to pursue work at high growth AI startups
– Canada gave us our start, and we want to reinvest in the Canadian startup scene.

We’ll use the space to host events and grow the tech community.

Our HQ is still in SF—but we’ll be hiring and actively investing back into Canada.

If you’re in Vancouver (or want to be), join our small team building the foundation of automation at the world’s best companies.

Gumloop’s story began when Max Brodeur-Urbas and his co-founders built their first product out of a bedroom in Vancouver. Since then, Gumloop moved its headquarters to San Francisco and grew into an advanced AI platform that helps businesses automate workflows without needing technical expertise.

The opening of the Vancouver office is important for local startups and entrepreneurs. It provides new opportunities for Canadians to work on high-growth technology projects without having to relocate. Gumloop also intends to use the new location to host tech events and support the Canadian startup community.

Raxxos Technology Inc. welcomes Gumloop’s decision. As a managed IT provider for small businesses in the Lower Mainland, we believe this move strengthens our city’s position in the tech industry. We encourage local businesses to engage with Vancouver’s growing innovation community and explore new possibilities in AI and automation.
