Patient capital for hand-made software.
Social return with financial discipline. Back a Montréal solidarity cooperative that builds serious software for Québec SMEs, with transparent books and clear reporting.
Why back
this shop.
- 01
The gap.
Serious custom software costs real money. Growing businesses often face quotes they cannot justify, or settle for thin builds that become expensive to maintain.
- 02
The craft.
Senior engineering, code the client owns, and honest counsel. Quality structured so a growing business can say yes.
- 03
Your capital.
Patient capital, grants, and programme funding extend reach without diluting craft. Surpluses stay in the cooperative mission.
How the money
works.
Earned revenue first.
Client work anchors the shop. Partner capital expands capacity and qualifying engagements. It does not replace a real delivery business.
Hybrid by design.
Market-rate projects fund the house. Mission-aligned tracks keep craft in reach for clinics, co-ops, climate startups, and charities when programmes apply.
Transparent use of funds.
Engineering capacity, delivery, and cooperative infrastructure, with milestones and reporting agreed before money moves.
Goals we are
aiming for.
These are targets, not audited past results. We will not dress ambition as achievement.
SMEs unlocked
Target by 2027: growing businesses with serious, owned software. This is a goal, not a claim of past results.
Without dilution
The same calibre larger shops ship, with terms structured so quality survives the budget conversation.
Quality jobs
Target: well-paid roles inside Montréal’s social economy by 2027.
