Calgary’s tech economy continues to gain strength, with innovative companies choosing the city as a launchpad for growth and diversification. Among them is OneVest, a fast-growing fintech company transforming how wealth management firms operate while expanding its Calgary footprint with support from the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund (OCIF) Express program.
OneVest is redefining the wealth management experience through technology that unifies advisors and clients on a single intelligent platform.
OCIF’s support helps companies innovate and scale
By integrating data, workflows and interactions into a single ecosystem, the company enables financial institutions to operate more efficiently and deliver a higher standard of client service. This enables financial firms to scale efficiently and keep the focus on what matters most — clients.
“OneVest continues to build a team of highly skilled professionals who foster a culture of innovation and curiosity,” said Laura Carter, Senior Director of People & Culture at OneVest.
“By leveraging the incredible talent within Calgary’s ecosystem, we’re building the teams needed to drive innovation and scale effectively. OCIF’s support has been instrumental in accelerating this work, enabling OneVest to attract and develop the skilled professionals who bring our vision to life.”
Calgary as a strategic hub for growth
While OneVest’s corporate headquarters are in Toronto, Calgary has become a critical hub for its growth and innovation. The company leveraged OCIF Express funding to expand its engineering and product teams in the city.
For Calgary, OneVest’s success underscores how strategic investment can attract and retain innovative firms in high-value sectors like fintech. As the city continues to diversify its economy, programs such as OCIF Express are helping ambitious companies scale quickly — fuelling job creation, technology advancement and economic resilience.
“Calgary is fostering innovation through programs like the OCIF Express,” added Alisha Mawji, Senior Product Marketing Manager. “There’s energy, collaboration and a growing ecosystem of support for technology companies and most importantly local talent.”
Through its expanded presence in Calgary, OneVest is contributing to the city’s evolving economy and supporting diversification across sectors. OCIF’s investment has reinforced this momentum, strengthening local capacity for growth and demonstrating how targeted funding can drive long-term economic impact.
