HeyOrca

495 Water Street, St. John's, Newfoundland, A1E 6B5, Canada

Overview

HeyOrca is a St. John's–based platform that helps smaller independent marketing agencies generate visual mock-ups of social media content and centralize client approvals and feedback. Founded in 2015, the company shifted focus as it scaled in 2016 after realizing client approvals were a primary pain point. CEO Joseph Teo says the product is purpose-built for the client–agency relationship, aiming to involve clients at critical junctures without slowing projects, unlike general team tools such as Slack or Dropbox. Ninety percent of HeyOrca’s customer base is in the US, and the company plans to expand its presence there while remaining based in Newfoundland. The new funding will be used to support additional content types as part of product expansion and to grow product and sales teams. HeyOrca plans to double headcount this year to 30 and has raised $2.65 million in total.
