There is an Emergence of Canadian Tech Companies beyond these leaders:

$SHOP (eCommerce)
$LSPD (Payments)
$DCBO (Enterprise Learning)
$MAGT.TO (Security)
$NVEI (Cross-border Payments)

A Briefing thread on the Canadian tech ecosystem and funnel:
2/ I've done a write-up on most of the top Canadian names:

First was $DCBO Docebo in January. An enterprise learning company accelerating its growth rate, customer adoption and a leader in LMS systems. Stock has been crazy!

investianalystnewsletter.substack.com/p/docebo-inc-l…
3/ $NVEI.TO: Global electronic payment processor. They have a proprietary platform that offers direct connections to all major payment cards.

They solve payment issues for complex transactions in over 150 different currencies using 450 payment methods.

3I) $NVEI.TO

My thread below: Since this thread, stock is up 200%.

Full thread below:
4/ $WELL.TO: Digital health leader

My piece is below. I own shares. However, this write-up is so old, their digital health practice has evolved and the thesis has grown so much bigger in other areas
investianalystnewsletter.substack.com/p/well-health-…
5/ $DND.TO:

a leading provider of cloud-based software and
technology solutions designed to improve efficiency and increase productivity for legal and business professionals.

+Revenue Growth: 90%
+EBITDA Margins: 40%

6/ GoodFood Market Corp $FOOD.TO: A leading online grocery provider in Canada.

Strong margins and growth, well-positioned within Online Grocery Shopping.
investianalystnewsletter.substack.com/p/goodfood-mar…
7/ Dialogue Health Solutions (Leading telemedicine in the enterprise space):

Focused primarily on the B2B/Market for:
a) Quality primary care,
b) EAP (Employee Assistance Programs),
c) Mental health.

I used to own shares and I still like this name.
8/ Magnetic Forensics: $MAGT.TO

This is currently my top idea!

A cybersecurity and cloud investigative tech.
Some of my initial thesis are below, I will share more on this ongoing. I'm still doing DD, but won't be surprised if it entered my portfolio. More in the future:
9/ Under-the-radar Canadian Tech Leaders that don't get attention:

+ $ENGH (Software tech)
+ $CSU + $TOI.V (Tech aggregators)
+ $CTO.TO Converge Tech, Hybrid IT & Cloud Security services (I own shares in Portfolio 2)
+ $KXS (Supply-Chain Logistics)
+ $STC (Sangota in IT)
+ $EGLX
10/ Donville kent asset management has a good resource that goes into more details for those interested:

file:///C:/Users/fodum/Downloads/Canadian%20Growth%20Company%20-Reports%20-October-2020-1.pdf
11/ Immediate IPO's in the funnel currently is Decision-analytics software maker Copperleaf Technologies which provides AI-powered optimization software to blue-chip companies in the energy, utilities and infrastructure giants. Copperleaf claimed they have never lost a customer.
12/ On the Private Markets, there are a young crop that are emerging:

+ Wealthsimple
+ Koho
+ Neo Financial
+ Ada
+ Bench
+ Few upcoming in Sask - @seantoconnor is brewing Coconut software, Vendasta, 7shift and upcoming in Ag-Tech. Watch out!

linkedin.com/pulse/linkedin…
13/ Canadian companies are conservative about going public- only 14 tech Co's within the last year, however, things are changing.

Would we ever get another $SHOP or $LSPD again? I have no clue, but I believe there are some good companies in the funnel to watch.
14/ My top high-growth Canadian Co's: $MAGT.TO, $NVEI, $DCBO & $THNC

Obviously, $SHOP & $LSPD are fantastic!

On the Private markets, Wealthsimple, Ada, Maple and Neo are interesting to watch in 2022.

Fingers crossed! What did I miss?
Let me know your thoughts on Canadian tech!

Welcome $CFLT - A New shareholder!

Brief Thesis
- #1 leading open-source platform
- 80% market-share among F-500
- A centralized event-streaming for Data
- Top Founder-Led
- Going to be an important tool in the future of ML/AI!

This is my first new stock-buy in over 5-months! Image
Sold $LMND- Owned since IPO @ $54, so this was a good profit. I like LMND but $CFLT is more dominant

This is a tracker buy in my core Acct after DD. Valuation is high, but hoping to add more LT

I have more info about $CFLT, so I'll share a future thread!
Guys, any experience using A- Kafta as part of your ETL or production on software deployments? @clueless_1337 @FrankYanWang

$PATH Reports AH today - I'm slightly neutral:

These are street consensus:
+ Q3 2021 Rev: $185M (Roughly 35%+ growth) on EPS of -$0.06
+ FY 2021: 855M

My expectations based on my thesis:
+We should see Q3 $190M and FY Guide of $900M.

Below is a quick thread on my preview: 1/
2/
For the 4th year in a row, $PATH was named a leader within the RPA & Automation market. A difficult feat to achieve in a competitive industry!

I want this Gartner review to show a correlation to revenues, but I am aware, they gave a low guidance in Q2
3/ Better breakdown of Revenue:

ARR Revenue Growth and Quarterly Recognised Revenue continues to be very tricky with $PATH. Investors need to rmbr to focus on ARR

It's hard to differentiate between their Cloud and On-Prem revenue.
I hope they provide some clarity on this call.

The last decade's most successful investments were consumer-focused companies like $NFLX $AAPL $FB

IMHO, Enterprise B2B & Cloud-native businesses will be the most successful companies over the next decade like $SNOW $PLTR $CRWD

Here are key reasons: 0/
1/ During the crisis of Covid most of the innovation that happened in the world was primarily within the Enterprise.

Consumers had to adjust to the new ways of working within the next Enterprise 2.0

The next wave of trends include: Cloud, PaaS, SaaS, Developer Tooling, Security
2/ I still generally prefer Enterprise B2B Models over > Consumer B2C Models. Why?

Some traits - These businesses are more:
1. Essential tools
2. Customer Stickiness
3. More Recurring revenue streams
4. Scalable with a few players
5. Easier to land & expand

"A.I Will Eat All Of Software"
- CEO/Founder of Databricks, Ali Ghodsi.

Databricks is a core data science/AI platform that I believe will be one of the biggest companies in the world by 2030.

This was a good interview. I can't wait for an IPO (1/3)
2/ Key Highlights:

+ They believe that more companies will go towards multi-clouds
+ CEO believes that platforms like $SNOW's data warehouse will envelop into Data Lakehouse (interesting)
+ Some Databricks Metrics:
- $600M+ ARR
- 75% YoY Growth Rate
- Growing slower than $SNOW
3/3: When I wrote about Snowflake last month. I wrote briefly about Databricks in that article.

If Databricks did an IPO or continue to make significant enhancements on their storage/compute capabilities, this could lead to multiple compression for $SNOW
