Ottawa mortgage-technology firm FundMore has finished 29th on the Globe and Mail's list of Canada's top-growing companies of 2026, marking the second consecutive year it has been the highest-ranking Ottawa company on the ranking.
What the ranking measured
FundMore recorded three-year revenue growth of 1,102 per cent, according to the Globe and Mail's Report on Business magazine, which has produced the Top Growing Companies ranking for eight years. The 2026 edition, appearing in the October 2026 issue, includes 375 companies from across the country. To qualify, a company has to be Canadian-operated and have at least $2 million in sales in its most recent fiscal year.
That 1,102 per cent figure is actually lower than the growth rate FundMore posted in last year's ranking, when it placed 24th with three-year revenue growth of 1,504 per cent. Even with the drop, the company held onto its title as Ottawa's top performer on the list for a second year running.
Who FundMore is
Founded in 2018, FundMore has grown to about 40 employees. The company uses artificial intelligence to streamline the mortgage approval process, building an AI-powered software platform that lets underwriters at banks and other lending institutions quickly assess an applicant's creditworthiness. Its customer base includes major banks, credit unions and mortgage investment companies from across the country, among them Equitable Bank, Meridian Credit Union and Laurentian Bank.
Ottawa's showing on the list
FundMore wasn't the only Ottawa company to make the 2026 ranking. Thirteen other local businesses appeared on the list, including H2 Analytics at 52nd, Rydel Franchise Group at 68th, and Insight Pest Solutions Canada at 93rd. That's a reasonably deep bench for a mid-sized city, and it's a reminder that Ottawa's growth-stage companies aren't limited to the AI and software firms that usually get the headlines.
For a company built around helping banks move faster on mortgage decisions, repeating as Ottawa's top-ranked entrant on a national growth list is a fairly direct signal that its core pitch, speeding up an approval process that's traditionally slow and manual, is still landing with lenders. With the mortgage market under pressure from high borrowing costs, the appetite among banks for tools that cut down approval times doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon.
