Participated · Equity · May 2026
Boost Security builds an AI-native platform to secure the software development lifecycle by unifying developer endpoint protection, software supply chain security, and AI-native application security posture management. The platform defends AI workspaces, blocks supply chain threats before ingestion, and auto-remediates vulnerable code to enable faster release cycles. The company recently acquired SecureIQx for its SCA reachability engine and Korbit.ai for AI-based pull request review capabilities, expanding reachability analysis and AI-native SAST in its stack. Boost raised $4 million in additional funding from White Star Capital, Amiral Ventures, Accelia Capital, and Sorensen Capital to support continued product development. The company is headquartered in Montreal and is positioning itself as a leader in securing code produced and reviewed by AI at machine speed.
- Maket
Led · Seed · Oct 2025
Founded in 2020 by Patrick Murphy, Stéphane Turbide, and Simon Vallée, Maket positions itself as the “ChatGPT for architecture,” embedding expert design logic into an intuitive generative-AI workflow. Users input basic project parameters and the software produces customised floor plans, allows real-time layout edits, and renders 3D visualisations, while offering AI-driven design recommendations. Key features include rapid floor-plan generation, style exploration, and an impending regulatory assistant that checks zoning code compliance; Maket 2.0, slated for early 2026, will add HVAC planning and material take-offs. The product is sold via subscription starting around $30 CAD per month, with larger enterprise tiers for builders and prefab manufacturers. Since launching publicly in 2023, the company has attracted more than one million registered users and grown to roughly 14–15 employees. To date it has raised over $4 million CAD in total funding, fuelled by a recent seed round.
- Maxa AI
Participated · Series A · May 2024
Maxa builds a Snowflake-native application that unifies multiple ERP and business data systems into a single, accurate, pre-computed source of insights. Central to its software is the Universal Business Data Model (UBDM), which standardizes and combines data from nearly any business system to make it accessible to non-technical analysts, developers, and AI. Companies use Maxa to automate financial, ERP, and operational reporting and analysis, enabling managers to improve decision-making and daily course-correction. The product is designed to enrich both human and AI-driven business conversations with timely, auditable data. The company plans to use the new funding to further enhance its product, expand go-to-market efforts, and improve customer self-serve capabilities. Maxa is co-founded and co-led by co-CEOs Raphael Steinman and Alexis Steiman and is based in Montreal, Canada. Maxa builds a software layer that runs alongside one or several ERPs and core business systems to enable BI automation, system unification, and predictive AI analytics. Its solution is quick to set up and supports a SaaS business model with no commitments. Maxa’s technology provides business performance AI to help organizations gain faster insights into past, present, and future performance. The company counts customers such as Bell and AJW. Maxa plans to use new funding to continue product development and to bolster its North American go-to-market team. As of this round, Maxa has raised a total of more than $3.8M (CAD 4.8M) to date.
