Ask HN: Toronto software market

11 pointsMrGuinness12 comments

H HN community, I'm looking for financial technology software firms in Toronto but am coming up empty. Surely some must exist; perhaps I'm a poor Google-er. I'm looking for firms that build software for the finance / capital markets industry. I've searched Google, Stackoverflow careers and LinkedIn.

Give Kira Inc. a look: https://kirasystems.com/ Based in Toronto, Kira systems builds machine learning contract analysis & review that helps professionals (including those in the finance/capital markets industry) complete contract review and analysis faster and more accurately.

Here's also an intro to machine learning, just in case: http://www.r2d3.us/visual-intro-to-machine-learning-part-1/?...

Good luck with your search!

I'm sure there is one or two firms being being that Toronto is the finance capital of Canada.

A quick google search turned up: http://www.intelliware.com/

But you could always search the job sites and boards for companies hiring developers to get an idea who is out there. Example:

maybe craft your searches on specific languages and technologies used in capital markets. This may yield better results on LinkedIn.

Also checked out the quantopian.com community

Feel free to contact me, email in profile.

I'm pretty connected in the Toronto finance community.

I'll help if I can, and your abilities are suitable:) At the least I can probably get your resume to a few different funds and banks.

Thanks, I will!

Algorithmics [0] (acquired by IBM [1]) is one.
