Canada’s future of embedded finance

We're democratizing access to capital by making it easy for any platform to offer embedded financing to their customers—without the complexity of building and managing lending infrastructure.

We enable platforms to offer embedded financing without building or managing lending infrastructure.

Slate abstracts everything behind the scenes, including underwriting, AI-powered risk analysis, compliance, servicing, and capital markets operations, so platforms can focus on what they do best: serving and growing their businesses. 



By powering financial services for marketplaces, vertical SaaS platforms, and payment providers, Slate enables small and medium-sized businesses to access the capital they need to thrive quickly, transparently, and with zero friction. Our mission is to democratize access to capital, making financing accessible to any business, on any platform, across Canada’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
We’re backed by top-tier venture firms.

What we believe

Principles that dictate how we think, behave, and make decisions.

[01]

Do work that inspires others

You can't inspire people by doing an “okay” job. To inspire, you need to do phenomenal work. Quality is not a plus; it's a must-have. We know nothing will ever be perfect, but that doesn't stop us from pushing the limits. We don't want to just meet the bar of our peers. We want to raise the bar. The sum of all the small details is what makes something special.

Federal lending compliance

Provincial regulations

Consumer protection

[02]

No Ego

Helping others is part of the job. It's okay to admit you don't know something and ask for help - it's a sign of strength, not weakness. We work together as an async team and assume positive intent. We communicate in a kind, direct, and transparent way.

PIPEDA Compliance

Data Minimization

Right to Deletion

[03]

Keep shipping

Speed is key. We prioritize ruthlessly, have a strong sense of urgency, and make decisions fast. We constantly review the scope of a project and work toward a v0, not a v1. We ship early, and we ship often.

KYC Verification

Transaction Monitoring

FINTRAC reporting

[04]

Default to action

Regardless of what you do, we are all makers, and makers don't wait. When we see a problem, we don't expect someone to fix it or tell us what to do. Instead, we take initiative, find creative ways around it, and send a pull request to solve it. Remember - no problem is too small.
