Strategic Use of Funds

The investment will accelerate the development of Uno Platform Studio, a premium tooling suite built on the free, open-source platform. A key feature, Hot Design, is a patent-pending visual designer that allows developers to pause a running application and edit the UI in real time, boosting productivity by up to 10x. Upcoming generative AI features will further enhance developer workflows, avoiding issues with throwaway code common in current AI solutions. “Raising this round entirely with Canadian capital is a proud milestone, not just for Uno Platform, but for the Canadian tech ecosystem as a whole,” said François Tanguay, CEO of Uno Platform. “It shows that world-class innovation is happening right here at home.”

The platform’s unified tooling, real-time visual editing, and AI assistance position it to meet this demand effectively.

We’ve known François through several ventures and have followed Uno Platform since the beginning,” said Julien Trussart, Partner, Oliva Capital. “We trust the team—their values, their technical depth, and their bold vision.” This backing reinforces Uno Platform’s potential to transform cross-platform .NET development globally while strengthening Canada’s tech ecosystem.

Uno Platform’s $3.5M CAD seed funding marks a significant step in advancing cross-platform .NET development. By leveraging Canadian capital and focusing on innovative tooling, the company is poised to drive global software development while reinforcing Canada’s role in the tech industry.
