Green infrastructure investments; lowish risk fixed income; licensed dealer in Canada.

We've also actively sought strategic investments from financial institutions (Royal Bank of Canada, a couple others) rather than raising from tech VCs. We've heard from a few clients that our brand-name shareholders made a difference in deciding whether or not to invest with us.



Looks great! So you're selling (up to) 5% coupon clean energy bonds? How is that working out, are you getting a lot of interest from people?

I haven't done too bad investing and have a few ideas myself for a fintech business (there are some opportunities relating to tax deductible pension investments in my home market) yet wonder whether, say, a 5% yield is sufficient for the average person to even bother taking a risk.

Second, if you don't mind, how's profitability? I assume it does need massive scale for the math to work out? How is sourcing users / are advertising fees working out, in terms of cost?


Happy to share some learnings - will reach out to the email in your profile. Don't want to derail the thread :)


Hey, not to butt in, but would it be possible to get in on the email discussion? Very curious about all of the above questions as well. No worries if not :)


Will do. Happy to do a Show HN at some point if there's interest.


I'd read a show HN thread.
