UmbraCity operates a network of automated umbrella rental kiosks in Vancouver, British Columbia, providing on-demand access to umbrellas during rain. The company was started by university friends Amir Entezari and Babak Assadsangabi and is described as Canada's first umbrella-sharing service, aiming to offer a convenient and affordable way for people to stay dry in the city. The service targets both residents and visitors, emphasizing a shared-resource model designed to reduce the hassles of rainy-day travel. In addition to supplying umbrellas, UmbraCity has adapted its kiosks and umbrellas into platforms for other businesses, using them as spaces for creativity and communication. In March 2022, the company announced a partnership with Tribe Property Technologies to broaden its reach. With a small team, UmbraCity operates within the advertising services sector and contributes a practical, weather-related daily utility to urban livability in Vancouver.
