We believe that we will grow if we make products our clients love. Looks like we are on the right track 🚀
Many thanks to our clients for your trust. What do you want to see from us next?

Wealthsimple Q3 update: we grew client assets to $169B (+68% YoY), and this week we announced a $425M raise at a $13.8B valuation.
In the past 12 months we launched credit cards, business accounts, and kids accounts. Our mission hasn’t changed. It’s just gotten bigger.
So thankful ❤️ for our clients. Millions of Canadians have trusted us with their money, and we’ll never take that for granted. You’re helping us build a movement to define the future of financial services in Canada.
And so proud of the incredible work by our team at @Wealthsimple. We’re just getting started. 🇨🇦

You’ve probably used AI for work today.
Now picture an 11-year-old using it to finish her core schoolwork in two hours a day.
That’s Everest Nevraumont’s routine at @Alphaschool in Austin, and she’s given a @TEDx talk on how she does it.
She’s coming with her dad, @Ednever, Senior Advisor at @warburgpincus and former CMO of @GA_TORONTO, to talk about what AI is really doing for kids’ learning and where it’s mostly hype.
If you build in edtech, shape AI policy at a school, or have kids of your own, come hear it in person and bring your questions.

Founders getting together last night to talk about the topics you don’t usually discuss, what’s working, what isn’t, hiring, sales, fundraising, and all the weird problems that come with building a company
There is value in just getting motivated people in a room

Canada has so much talent 🇨🇦
So I was excited to speak at the TechTo event earlier this week.
I gave attendees there a sneak preview of a new AI product we are working on. You'll be hearing a lot more about this over the coming weeks!
It was an incredible event - thanks to @alexandernorman and @goldlist and everyone else who made it happen

"AI has not eliminated the old playbook, but it has changed what is scarce. Speed and scale are abundant; judgment, trust, customer proximity, and uncomfortable work are not."

@alexandernorman has built something rare: a startup community that genuinely puts founders first, while backing 80+ early-stage companies at N49P.
In our conversation, he breaks down:
→ Why community can't be a dealflow strategy (but creates alpha anyway)
→ The 4 traits that predict pre-seed success
→ Why founders need to get back on planes to build trust-based relationships

TECH WEEK HIGHLIGHT ✨
Check out Off The Record: The Unfiltered Founder Truths You Can’t Google.
Tired of polished success stories? Off The Record delivers the raw, behind-the-scenes climb. This isn't a panel, podcast, or typical fireside chat. It's a closed-door gathering where accomplished Tech Founders ($30M+ average revenue) share stories they've never told publicly.
Curated for high-potential founders and Peerscale members, this "apply to attend" session reveals what really happens on the path to scale: near-breakdowns, tough calls, and game-changing breakthroughs. No cameras, no PR polish – just peers who get it.
Expect first-time stories from bold Canadian founders like Michael Hyatt (Dragon, Investor, Builder), Sally Daub (Web3 powerhouse, BorderPass), and Eva Wong (transforming FinTech with Borrowell). A room full of serious builders, not spectators. If you're building in tech and ready for what it actually takes to scale, this is the unmissable conversation. The stories that inspire and stay in the room. You'll also hear from Mark Jaine, Ryan Osten, Ron Spreeuwenberg, Wayne Pommen, and Michael Kravshik, CPA, CA
Thank you to @SchulichSchool Venture Academy who is sponsoring the stage all week long, BrightIron who is sponsoring our Tuesday stage, and @rbcx who is sponsoring our Thursday stage 👏 and a massive thank you to StartWell who is giving us a home base for our tech week events (TechTO HQ)

Huge update: Dimensional is (finally) building a dating app.
“Another dating app?”
Yes. But we’re doing things differently - we’re focused on compatibility.
The biggest problem with dating apps today is that they optimize for quantity over quality. In a hetero context, it usually plays out like this:
1. Matches are mostly based on looks - because there’s not much else to go on.
2. The most desired people (usually women) are overwhelmed. There’s no way to filter, no sense of real compatibility.
3. You can’t have meaningful conversations with everyone, so it devolves into “hey what’s up” territory.
4. The people who get dates are “good at dating apps” - not necessarily good partners.
5. Less-desired users get discouraged. So they pay to get more matches.
6. More-desired users get discouraged. Too much supply. Too many repetitive convos that lead nowhere.
7. Everyone is discouraged. Because you're only as good as someone else’s next-best option.
We think the best way to fix this is ironically to give people fewer, but much better matches.
As Hinge founder, Justin McLeod, put it - we need to “flatten the power curve” of dating.
And the only way to do that? You have to predict real compatibility. That’s what we’ve spent the last few years getting very good at.
