1. The Challenge
“We were drawn by Mylo’s incredible potential to revolutionize the way Canadians relate to their personal finances. The question was not if, but how, to achieve this."
Dr. Liam Cheung, Tactico Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Executive Chairman of Mylo
The Company needed a time-tested, cost-efficient asset management product to
manage and invest for its users. Being at the very early stages of the business
lifecycle, the Company also needed to find the right investors and secure
funding for growth and profitability.
2. HOW WE HELPED
3. RESULTS
“We completely integrated ourselves into the Mylo business,” said Dr. Liam Cheung, Tactico Managing Partner & Cofounder, and Executive Chairman of Mylo. “Everything from fundraising and projections to product development and even technology. We helped design the Mylo Advantage product and leveraged our relationships to secure the right investment partners.”
With our help, Mylo raised a total of $14M in funding, including from two of Canada’s largest financial institutions, Desjardins and National Bank of Canada. The Company also tripled its MRR in 2019 through user growth and user adoption of the Mylo Advantage product. Previously, in 2017, Mylo had secured a $400K deal from three (3) dragon’s on Dragon’s Den, including Arlene Dickinson, one of Canada’s most iconic entrepreneurs.
