PoliTraQ's Year-End Letter

Celebrating Achievements and Looking Ahead

Chris Moffatt Armes

Dear Friends,

As we approach the end of another year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the journey we've shared at PoliTraQ, and to express my deepest gratitude for your continued support and trust in our platform. 

This year has been a significant one for us, marked by both product and business milestones that have set the stage for our continued growth and innovation. 

From a product perspective, we launched a full platform re-write in April. This significant overhaul cleared up our technical debt and expanded our data tracking capabilities to include a wider variety of sources such as transcripts, news releases, and legislation. This has enabled us to provide you with a more comprehensive and robust Government Relations and Advocacy Management platform, while laying a stable foundation for future platform expansion.

We also integrated media and Hansard keyword tracking, now available for all provinces/territories, as well as the House and Senate, in both official languages. This feature, coupled with our keyword scan email service, has been designed to keep you informed and ahead of the curve. Finally, we introduced our Report generation tool, which has saved our clients hours of effort by making it possible to create full-text reports and detailed dashboards in under a minute. 

To date, the feedback we’ve received from customers has been tremendous. Hardly a week goes by without us hearing from users about how PoliTraQ helped them put their best foot forward, by ensuring they had all the relevant information on their clients’ issues when and where they needed it. We are proud of these product wins, and we are committed to continuing to innovate and improve our platform to better serve your needs.

On the business front, we were thrilled to be accepted into the DMZ Incubator, the top university-linked accelerator in North America. This opportunity has provided us with invaluable resources and mentorship that will undoubtedly help us take PoliTraQ to the next level. 

This past summer, PoliTraQ had the distinct pleasure of participating as an ALPHA startup at the 2023 Collision Conference in Toronto, June 26-29. In addition to hosting a display during the conference, PoliTraQ also participated in the Startup Showcase - a 2-min, rapid-fire presentation series.

Finally, we completed a small capital raise to fund the next phase of PoliTraQ’s growth, and have nearly tripled our staff headcount from this time last year. None of these achievements would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our incredible team, and the unwavering support of our clients. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to all of you. 

As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. We will continue to enhance our platform, expand our services, and strive to provide you with the best possible experience. 

Thank you once again for your trust and partnership. We look forward to serving you in the coming year and beyond.

Best Regards,

Chris Moffatt Armes
