🍁 OUR STORY

Two builders. One Canadian web.

MapleStack was born in a Toronto coffee shop in early 2026, when two friends — a designer and an engineer — got tired of watching Canadian businesses pay American companies to host their stories.

CHAPTER 01 — THE COFFEE

A bakery in Montréal was paying $36 USD/month to a US company to be "Canadian" online.

That was the moment. Dragan had been quietly tracking the problem for years — Canadian small businesses paying foreign companies in foreign currency to host data on foreign soil. After seven years building Canadian-soil infrastructure for fintechs, he could see exactly how the pieces should fit.

He showed his friend Mateo — a product designer who'd helped his cousin's bakery migrate three times in two years — a back-of-napkin sketch. Mateo looked at it and said one thing: "This actually makes sense."

It took longer than a weekend. But it was the start.

"

Canada has 1.2 million small businesses. Almost none of them own their own data. We thought that was strange.
