“We’re honoured to be recognized by Startup Canada for the High-Growth Entrepreneurship award,” said Alyssa Furtado, co-founder and CEO of Ratehub.ca. “The last two years have been some of Ratehub.ca’s most important.

My co-founder James Laird and I share this award with our dedicated and incredibly talented teams in Toronto, Montreal and Kingston. We look forward to continuing our mission of building amazing products that help Canadians make smart financial decisions.”
“Congratulations to all of this year’s 2017 regional award winners,” says Victoria Lennox, co-founder and CEO of Startup Canada. “Each and every one of these outstanding organizations have an immense impact on the future of Canada and they all represent the greatness and diversity of our nation’s entrepreneurship community.”
