Backed by Canadian Capital, Uno Platform Secures $3.5M CAD in Seed Money
MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Montreal-based tech company Uno Platform is proud to announce the completion of a $3.5M CAD seed funding round. This round, led by AQC Capital, rounds up $6.5M CAD of total investment in Uno Platform to date, and includes investment from Desjardins Capital and Oliva Capital - all Canada based.
'Raising this round entirely with Canadian capital is a proud milestone, not just for Uno Platform, but for the Canadian tech ecosystem as a whole,' said François Tanguay, CEO of Uno Platform. 'It shows that world-class innovation is happening right here at home. This investment allows us to keep growing in Canada, reinvest in Canadian talent, and help shape the future of global software development from our own backyard.'
Uno Platform is an open-source, enterprise developer productivity platform for building cross-platform .NET applications that run on Mobile, Web, Desktop. Trusted by organizations such as Toyota, Microsoft and the City of Ottawa, Uno Platform is rapidly becoming the go-to solution for enterprise-ready, cross-platform application development.
The investment will accelerate the rollout of premium tooling Uno Platform Studio, built on top of the free and open-source platform. Uno Platform Studio includes Hot Design, a patent-pending visual designer, which lets developers pause a running application and visually edit the UI in real time increasing development productivity by up to 10x. Upcoming Generative AI features will further enhance developer workflows while avoiding the pitfalls of throwaway code that present-day AI falls into.
'Uno Platform is a shining example of Canadian innovation with worldwide impact - redefining how software developers build cross-platform .NET apps in record time,' says Frederic Bastien, Chairman of the Board, AQC. 'Their clear product vision made investing an obvious choice'
With this momentum, Uno Platform is doubling down on its promise to deliver the most productive developer experience for building cross-platform .NET applications, powered by unified tooling, real-time visual editing and Generative AI assistance.
'The modernization and digital transformation across industries is driving strong demand for innovative software solutions that help developers do more with less,' says Nathalie Bernard, Chief Operating Officer of Desjardins Capital. 'Our support in this seed round reflects confidence in promising companies led by experienced teams that contribute to Quebec's innovation ecosystem and have the potential for international growth.'
'Investing in Uno Platform was a natural choice for Oliva Capital. We've known François through several ventures and have followed Uno Platform since the beginning,' says Julien Trussart, Partner, Oliva Capital. 'We trust the team—their values, their technical depth, and their bold vision.
