This week, Motive Partners announced a $100 million strategic investment in Electric Mind — fueling the next wave of AI-led transformation in financial services. You can read the full press release here.

For us, this isn’t just a financial milestone — it’s fuel for scaling faster, going deeper on AI-led engineering, and delivering even greater impact for the clients who trust us.

Here’s what this means in practice:
  • Expand our AI-led strategy and implementation capabilities with more people, tools, and infrastructure to meet growing demand.
  • Accelerate our U.S. expansion, building on our strong foundation in Canada to serve more institutions across wealth, banking, capital markets, and insurance.
  • Deliver even greater client impact, while staying true to our hands-on approach that engineers real solutions and measurable outcomes.
Chris Ford, our CEO, put it this way:

Electric Mind was founded on the belief that technology and engineering should directly enable transformation. This partnership with Motive gives us more fuel to turn complex challenges into bright, practical solutions — helping institutions modernize, scale, and reimagine how they operate. It also allows us to double down on our applied AI expertise, ensuring that the solutions we deliver are both innovative and impactful. What doesn’t change is our ethos: grounded in engineering excellence and committed to real delivery.”

At its core, this investment doesn’t change who we are. Electric Mind remains majority owned and led by our Canadian partner team, and our values, culture, and leadership remain the same.

What changes is our capacity — to take on bigger challenges, to innovate faster, and to bring even more bright, practical, AI-enabled solutions to the industry.

We’re excited about what’s ahead. And we’re even more excited to keep doing what we’ve always done: putting our whole brain to work alongside our clients to build the future of financial services.
