Financial Scenario Modeling

Our Financial Journey

From a small idea in Brandon to transforming how people understand financial scenarios across Canada. Here's how we built something meaningful, one milestone at a time.

2019
The Beginning

Founded on Real Problems

It started when Marcus Fernbridge couldn't find decent financial modeling tools that actually made sense to regular people. Most platforms were either too complex for small business owners or too simple for serious analysis. So he grabbed his laptop, found a quiet corner in Brandon, and started building what would become balenquirosav.

Building Something Bigger

By 2022, word had spread throughout Manitoba's business community. Local credit unions started recommending our tools to their commercial clients. We'd figured out how to make complex scenario analysis actually accessible – no PhD in economics required.

The breakthrough came when we realized people didn't want more features; they wanted better understanding. So we rebuilt everything around clarity and practical application rather than bells and whistles.

What We're Building Next

Financial literacy shouldn't be a luxury. This year, we're expanding beyond just software to include comprehensive educational programs. Because the best modeling tool in the world doesn't help if people don't understand how to interpret what it shows them.

Our new learning program launches in September 2025, designed for anyone who wants to understand financial scenarios without getting lost in jargon or overwhelmed by complexity.
