Thanks @bayareawriter for covering Octaura's funding round. "The company’s digital platform launched in 2023, allowing traders to buy and sell loans and CLOs “more easily,” something that hadn’t been available to the market before, according to Brian Bejile, CEO of Octaura.
New on @crunchbasenews: Octaura, which has developed a syndicated loan platform, has raised $46.5M in a funding round which included participation from a group of banking heavyweights. Tip @Techmeme .

I've never subscribed to this Canadian 'lack of ambition' narrative. The founders being recognized at this year's #CIXSummit are a small sample of the incredible companies being built by exceptional talent in this country. If anything, our Canadian humility is the problem.

Riding the #TTC this morning? You might have seen my son and me, wearing our capes to raise awareness for @HBKidsHospital. It's #CapesforKids week - every dollar raised supports kids with disabilities.

This is another example of Canada standing up above the rest as a leader that we can do fintech better, and we have talented ambitious founders building solutions for a more successful future for all of us. Period. @OneVest @SalesforceVC.
We’re proud to announce that OneVest has secured $20M USD in Series B funding, led by Salesforce Ventures. This funding fuels our mission to Power the World’s Wealth and revolutionize wealth management technology for enterprises across North America.

At the @Raptors game tonight. Hearing the words to our National Anthem sung by the crowd, “glorious and free”, couldn’t help to cheer for that line. Let’s not take that for granted - we are a glorious country and we have so many freedoms. Time to come together!.

Not all super heroes wear capes. But this one does. Very proud of my son, Nolen, heading up this years Capes for Kids campaign. #proudmommoment.
Meet Nolen, a Raptors superfan, with the encyclopedic knowledge of their stats to prove it! From accessing many of the hospital’s programs and services, Nolen knows the power of Holland Bloorview, and is thrilled to fundraise for #CapesForKids.

If you're a #founder in #fintech or #commercetech and are thinking of fundraising - apply to come on The Green Room this week. I'll be advising founders on how to craft the perfect pitch.
