Venn, the newly rebranded Canadian financial platform formerly known as Vault, has successfully secured $21.5m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Left Lane Capital, featuring contributions from XYZ Venture Capital, Intact Ventures, and Gradient, signalling strong investor confidence in Venn’s mission to transform business banking in Canada.
Founded by former Revolut employees Ahmed Shafik and Saud Aziz, Venn offers a comprehensive suite of financial services, including multi-currency accounts, spend management, transfers, FX services, and accounting automation. This holistic approach aims to replace outdated, rigid banking systems that have long burdened Canadian businesses with high fees and inefficient services.
The newly acquired funds are earmarked for expanding Venn’s product capabilities and broadening their financial services stack, as the company aims to solidify its position as the go-to banking platform for Canadian businesses. Since its launch in 2023, Venn has attracted over 4,000 businesses, demonstrating significant market traction and a clear demand for its innovative solutions.
Additional plans include strategic partnerships with companies such as Sherpa, MedEssist, and Alan, to further penetrate the market and enhance service offerings. This move indicates Venn’s commitment to scaling its operations and adapting to the diverse needs of the Canadian business banking sector.
“Venn can help grow Canadian businesses in a way that legacy banks simply can’t because we’ve built our platform for speed and flexibility to serve all types of businesses from the start,” Co-founder Saud Aziz commented. He further emphasized, “Our product strategy is our core differentiator—we’re consolidating financial tools so businesses no longer have to piece together fragmented solutions. We aim to become the default platform for all of Canadian businesses’ banking needs.”
