Canada’s best kept fintech secret — Katipult — revolutionizing how the world invests
Summary
Founded three years ago to help financial firms manage administrative processes, Katipult quickly evolved into a dominant player serving the needs of private capital markets. Its cloud-based platform is fully customizable to the needs of each client — be it a real estate investment trust, wealth management firm, crowdfunding site or peer-to-peer lender. Among its notable Canadian customers is MaRS Discovery District — a Toronto-based organization that helps bring environmentally and socially focused startups and other opportunities to market. It’s this kind of industry experience needed to help Katipult in its next phase of development as a publicly traded company on the Canadian Venture Exchange. “We’re aiming to put ourselves alongside some of the bigger tech startups that have come out of Canada,” Murray says, pointing to Shopify — an eCommerce platform with a stock market capitalization worth about $13 billion.
