Verdomics (NetMethane)
As a Research Associate at FluxLab, I’ve worked directly with 12 landfill operators across Canada as part of national methane emissions studies. Through fieldwork, data collection, and follow-up discussions, I gained first-hand insight into their challenges with emissions monitoring, regulatory compliance, and understanding how to generate carbon offsets. These conversations consistently highlighted a need for simpler, more automated tools that reduce the burden of methane tracking and reporting. In parallel, I analyzed and summarized stakeholder comments submitted in response to Canada’s draft federal landfill methane regulations. This gave me a broader view of industry pain points, including concerns about the complexity of Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV), the cost of compliance, and the lack of accessible tools for carbon credit generation and RNG project planning. I’ve also attended meetings and consultations with operators, vendors, and regulators, which further validated the demand for a platform like Verdomics.
Wellobit
Wellobit is a playful, science-informed mental wellness app that gamifies stress reduction and mood support. The app connects with wearables to detect signs of stress through HRV data before users notice them, then responds with personalized nudges, breathing exercises, and micro-mindfulness moments. Featuring a friendly mascot named Zenny, Wellobit offers mini mood check-ins, bite-sized breathing boosts, unlockable wellness streaks, and a weekly "Wellobit Score" to celebrate progress. The platform makes nervous system regulation accessible and fun for wellness-conscious professionals.
Wordsworth Gifting
Wordsworth Gifting turns books into a corporate gift recipients actually keep. We curate a small collection of Canadian-authored titles for each campaign, send recipients a branded microsite, and let them pick the book that fits them best. Their choice ships from a partner bookstore. The result is a gift that feels hand-picked, without taking over the sender's calendar. Wealth advisors, law firms, and consulting practices use Wordsworth to mark client milestones, thank top accounts, and keep premium relationships warm. Two tracks: one-time event gifting and ongoing strategic programs. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
YouGotThis
YouGotThis is a Halifax-based fintech startup founded in late 2025. The company completed its beta launch in February 2026. The founder, a CFA charterholder with 15 years of institutional capital markets experience, built YouGotThis from personal experience managing a complex family financial picture, and discovering that no tool on the market served households like his. YouGotThis is a web-based personal finance platform (www.yougotthiswealth.com) built for mass-affluent professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, entrepreneurs, and dual-income households in their 30s and 40s) who have financial lives that are genuinely complex but find themselves stranded between two inadequate options: expensive, high-minimum advisors who treat them as too small to matter, and DIY apps that break down the moment life gets complicated. The platform delivers a unified, full-picture view of a user’s financial life, eg. net worth, investments, retirement savings, debt, education savings, and estate planning; across all accounts and institutions in one place. It connects present decisions to future goals, helping users navigate competing priorities (pay down the mortgage? max the RRSP? fund the kids’ education?) with clarity and confidence. The core experience is low-friction, freemium, and mobile-accessible, with no minimum balance required and no incentive to sell financial products. YouGotThis has completed two product sprints since beta launch, is two months ahead of its internal roadmap, and has signed its first B2B referral partnership with Zelos Investment Counsel (https://zelosglobal.com/), establishing user growth from freemium subscriptions with B2B revenue from partner firms.
