The Iversoft Story
15 Years of Building
Exceptional Teams

In 2009, Vicki Iverson and Matt Strentse officially founded Iversoft in their Toronto dining room, launching one of the first Solitaire games on iOS and quickly proving a small Canadian software team could compete with anyone.

The Beginning

Early projects included mobile work for Michael Bublé and Billy Talent, plus digital trade show kiosks for Audi — inventive, ambitious work that helped establish Iversoft's reputation.

Community & Partnerships

Giving Back to the Ecosystems That Built Us

Iversoft's commitment to community is woven into our business. We partnered with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) to build the Thought Spot app, connecting students to mental health resources. We are active members of Hire Immigrants Ottawa, helping break down barriers for skilled immigrants.

Vicki Iverson volunteers with Microsoft Youthspark, Technovation, and the University of Waterloo's Women in Computer Science initiative, encouraging the next generation of girls and women in STEM.

We give back because these communities made us who we are and because the talent pipelines of tomorrow depend on the investments we make today.
