TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FrontFundr, Canada's leading online private markets platform, today announced record results for fiscal 2025, which ended September 30, demonstrating strong momentum in revenue, investment volume and community growth as it continues to reimagine access to private markets.
Record performance in fiscal year 2025
FrontFundr's revenue reached $1.85 million, up 60% from fiscal 2024, with EBITDA approaching breakeven with a loss of just $45,000 compared to $1.25 million last year. The platform processed $81.4 million in investment volume, up 45% from the previous year, and facilitated 5,729 transactions, nearly double the FY 2024 level.
The FrontFundr community has also grown significantly, reaching 58,335 registered users and 20,148 active investors, up 24% and 28% respectively. Key drivers of this growth were high-profile campaigns from companies such as Edison Motors (raised C$6.9 million) and Blossom Social (raised C$1.93 million in less than a week—the most successful equity crowdfunding campaign in Canada).
Strong momentum in FY2026
FrontFundr started fiscal 2026 at a record pace, generating $255,200 in revenue for October, exceeding monthly goals by 68%. Early highlights include Gander Social, a Canadian social media platform that raised over C$1 million from over 1,300 investors in its first two weeks, marking the platform's third-largest launch week ever.
Promoting innovation in private markets
North American private markets are expanding rapidly, with private equity deal value projected to exceed US$1 trillion in 2025 (Statista) and Canadian private equity investment to reach C$27.5 billion in 2024 (CVCA Intelligence). Despite this growth, most high-growth private companies remain out of reach of retail investors. FrontFundr bridges this gap by giving everyday Canadians access to early and growth-stage companies that were previously only available to wealthy investors.
“FrontFundr continues to lead the evolution of the democratization of Canadian private markets, delivering record results while providing investors and founders with new opportunities for engagement, transactions and growth,” said Pieter-Paul Van Hoeken, Founder and CEO.
Key milestones and recognition
FrontFundr is celebrating 10 years since processing its first investment through the platform in May 2015, marking a decade of democratizing access to private capital in Canada. Fiscal 2025 was a record year, driven by historic campaigns, strong investor participation and platform growth. The first Community Capital Report 2024 highlighted the impact of equity crowdfunding, and the 2025 report, expected in March–April 2026, will showcase current trends, platform growth and investor activity. This landmark year also received national media coverage, including Canadian SME, Fintech Observer, Crowdfunding Insider, Canadian Fintech and Global Fintech Insider, reaching over 70,000 readers and solidifying FrontFundr's leadership in Canadian private markets.
