helloDarwin operates an online platform that matches businesses with qualified B2B service providers through a combination of human account management and algorithmic matching. The company evolved from a quotes-focused product into a broader one-stop shop for services including app development, video production, e-commerce and ERP. Businesses use the platform for free while service providers pay referral fees and can subscribe to monthly packages, creating recurring revenue. In 2020 the company’s net monthly revenue rose to $165,000 from $30,000 in 2019. To date helloDarwin has helped over 6,000 businesses and lists more than 4,000 qualified service providers; the team is roughly 40 people and the company plans to grow to about 75 staff. Key near-term plans are geographic expansion across Canada and a proof of concept and planned launch in the United States.
