Venn is the fastest-growing B2B fintech in Canada.
We're on a mission to transform business banking for Canadian entrepreneurs and are looking to hire A-players interested in disrupting traditional banking practices. As the ONLY digital banking platform in Canada offering a truly modern solution, we have seen accelerated growth, scaling to support more than 5,000 Canadian businesses in under two years. Business owners are tired of the big banks’ monopoly and are looking for modern tools that replace the legacy systems that have been their only option for over 100 years.


We've raised over $26.5M from Tier 1 investors such as Gradient, Left Lane Capital, Intact, and XYZ Venture Capital. Interested in redefining the future of banking in Canada? Look no further.

  • Work closely with product, operations, and go-to-market teams to understand real customer problems and turn them into impactful solutions

  • Support and sometimes lead complex integrations with banking partners and third-party APIs to enable capabilities like virtual cards, cross-border transfers, and accurate financial data flows
