- Flahmingo — Saving and investing are not intuitive financial skills for the majority of Canadians. Many Canadians believe investing is only for the rich or that it requires significant capital to start. However, the 'next generation' of investors is changing this narrative by learning by doing and investing early. These new investors are being morethan just conscious of their financial return by also seeking a social return, by investing in brands they know and love, trust, and whose vision they support.Flahmingo is a native mobile application that allows DIY investors to begin investing with as little as $5. Using our proprietary Pies and Slices technology, Flahmingo enables users to build a portfolio of their favourite companies and exchange traded funds (ETFs). Using scheduled deposits and automagic round ups (both investment automation strategies), users seamlessly grow and maintain a diversified portfolio through the purchase and sale of fractional shares'. These fractional shares allow Flahmingo users to own as little as $1 in companies like Tesla, Alphabet, Amazon and even Berkshire Hathaway.
