Building the sovereign default for shipping software in Canada.
Canner is a Canadian all-in-one cloud services platform. We're building out Canadian tech infrastructure at a critical moment in Canada's history, and you can be part of it.
Why now
Canadian companies are being squeezed by two competing forces. Regulatory pressure is building, especially in healthcare, finance, and government, to keep data in Canada and outside the reach of foreign hands. Meanwhile, the developer experience is evolving rapidly in the wake of AI, in a way that even the US platforms can't keep up with. This is our opportunity, and it's why Canner is growing so quickly.
Regulatory tailwind
Quebec’s Law 25, PIPEDA reform, and sector rules keep pushing data residency from ‘nice to have’ to ‘required’. Buyers increasingly ask where the bytes live before they sign.
The CLOUD Act gap
Vercel, Netlify, and AWS Amplify are US persons subject to the CLOUD Act. For regulated Canadian buyers that’s a structural disqualifier no feature can fix.
Experience is the wedge
‘Canadian hosting’ has existed for decades, but it still feels like 2010. Canner’s bet: pair a Vercel-grade workflow with real residency. The experience is what wins the developer.
AI-native shipping
A wave of apps is now generated in Cursor, v0, Bolt, and Claude. They all need somewhere to deploy — and Canadian teams need that somewhere to be here.
What we’re building
Canner deploys your web app with a git push, supports full-stack apps, and gives you some of the most open Postgres access out there. We work with all the frameworks, from Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, and Svelte, and run Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Rust, Java, and BoxLang, you name it. Caching, preview deploys, scheduled jobs, all of it. The platform is live, and the roadmap grows daily.
- git push, drag-and-drop, or CLI → a live URL, data in Montreal
- Managed Postgres, custom domains + auto-TLS, preview deploys, caching
- Full-stack: Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, SvelteKit + Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Rust, Java, BoxLang
- A REST API, CLI, and MCP server for AI-native workflows
Why it’s defensible
Sovereignty isn't a feature a US entity can "ship." It's literally who controls the company. Canner Inc. is 100% Canadian owned, and our servers are 100% Canadian controlled. And it will stay that way. This is the whole point.
Founder
I’ve spent fifteen years building data infrastructure for Canadian companies, including engagements at McGill University and Structube. Canner is the platform I kept wishing existed: Vercel-grade deploys with the data physically in Quebec and no US middleman.
Canner Inc. is incorporated and 100% owned by me today: a clean cap table and a technical founder who builds and operates the whole stack. I’m looking for investors who see Canadian data sovereignty as a durable, structural market, not a moment.
