“The vast majority of banks that exist out there actually aren’t designed to support businesses like ours— they have red tape, they have mechanisms in place that detract from the business’s operations and actually discourage the growth that the venture capital world expects…RBCx understands.”
Matt Anderson-Baron – Co-founder and CEO, Future Fields
“Having a banking partner that understands venture-backed high growth companies, and the kind of a unique situation that we’re in, is important to help us work on financial solutions. A lot of traditional banks don’t understand the nuances of how we operate versus how a more traditional business operates.”
“When you’re a business of our size and growth, there are a lot of ups and downs: the growth, and then the dip, and then more growth and dips. We’ve always been able to call RBC and say, we have a problem, or how can I solve this? You spend much of your career hearing, ‘don’t talk to the bank,’ because, if you do, you’ll regret it. That’s never been our experience.”
Victoria Stephenson – Vice President of Finance and Strategy, StellarAlgo
“RBCx has been a really great partner on everything from our everyday banking needs to making introductions to key people who may be able to help us within RBC and beyond.”
We work with Canada’s leading tech companies, bringing our deep sector expertise and global connections to help them scale, innovate, and solve the world’s biggest problems.
