Luge Capital served as the lead investor, with commitments also coming from OMERS Ventures, AAF Management, FJ Labs, National Bank of Canada venture capital division NAventures, Panache Ventures and more. The round was also supported by a series of unnamed angel investors.
The capital injection will help the company hire more staff, grow sales and bolster its product development.
Founded in 2021, the WealthTech company offers digital wealth management services that can be embedded in consumer-facing products via APIs. Through this, FinTechs, credit unions, traditional banks and wealth managers can offer digitally native user experiences within weeks.
It claims to be Canada first wealth-as-a-service platform. Its features include APIs, white-labelled mobile apps and front-end widgets, fractional share allocation, tools for goal-based investing, thematic and responsible investing, personalised portfolios and alternative investments, and more.
OneVest co-founder and CEO Amar Ahluwalia said, ?People are increasingly demanding a more seamless and simple experience where financial products are integrated into their everyday lives.
?Our mission is to make investing more accessible to everyone, and available anytime, anywhere and through any channel.p>
