ZayZoon

Title:
CEO

Darcy Tuer is ZayZoon's Co-Founder and CEO, who grew up in Calgary and Edmonton and started his first tech company in 2000. “I'm passionate about Calgary's technology ecosystem.” Also the Co-founder and previous President of Spira Data Corp. for 11 years, he founded his first software company, Halo Networks, in 2000.

Darcy was convinced he was meant to be a part of ZayZoon when Tate Hackert, ZayZoon's Co-Founder and President, pitched the company and its vision to him. The idea of bringing financial wellness to the masses and creating significant positive social impact was something he could not ignore. “We believed that if we had one person that needed us, that we could keep away from a predatory loan, we knew that there would be millions of people that we could help in the same way."

Through Darcy, Tate, and co-founder Jamie Ha's efforts, ZayZoon has raised $34.5 million USD in debt and equity for its Series B financing. This financing will support recruiting efforts and continued growth and innovation for the company.
