Brock Murray (CEO) and Pheak Meas (COO) of Katipult, a SaaS company that enables firms to design, setup, and manage an investment crowdfunding, Peer to Peer lending, or investor management platform, has been named a finalist in Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in the Emerging Technology category in Prairies. Brock and Pheak founded Katipult in May 2014 and have since grown the company in over 20 countries with staff across four continents.

What?

As Katipult’s CTO, I’m frequently being asked by our customers if and what we’re going to do with BlockChain. The idea of BlockChain is absolutely viral in the FinTech sector right now, and it seems that every company is eventually going to need some perspective on it. To me, it no longer seems like an avant garde idea. It now seems that the benefits will cause the technology to propel forward exponentially - but how?

On January 15th, 2017, the Canadian Consulate of Hong Kong brought the top 6 Canadian Fintech companies from Canada to Hong Kong to learn about the local markets, develop key business contacts, meet with institutions and regulatory bodies, and tour HK’s newest Fintech centers. It was a great experience full of networking, pitching, partnerships, and how our Katipult solution can be applied to this dynamic market.
