Canoe Intelligence Product Update – January 2020

A Note from the CEO

Since our last update, we’ve made great progress in developing the Canoe Intelligence solution to meet the needs of all types of clients working with or allocating to alternatives. We are proud to offer the only purpose-built technology that eliminates manual data entry for the entire alternative investment ecosystem.

Powered by client and partner feedback, ideas, and support, we will continue to accelerate product development to further transform alternative investment operations. To help drive these future innovations, we are excited to announce the completion of our Series A round of financing.

We continue to focus on enhancing the end-to-end operational workflow that incorporates document ingestion and categorization to data extraction, validation, and delivery.

Thank you again for sharing in and contributing to our continued success. Together, we are solving the manual data challenge facing our industry and building a more sustainable future for all involved.

Keep Paddling,
Seth Brotman, CEO
