In the latest episode of What the Tech from Boast, we sat down with Chris Ellefson, President and CTO of Ollon, a boutique agency specializing in custom software application development. Ollon works with teams to meet tight deadlines, strengthen their capacity, and rescue abandoned code, seamlessly integrating within organizations to fill skill gaps and extend in-house capabilities.

We've been fans of Chris and his team since we first connected in 2024, co-hosting and participating in pitch competitions for innovative businesses across Eastern Canada. Chris has served as a tech lead and mentor at organizations on both sides of the border, and his perspective on building sustainably in Canada's tech ecosystem offers valuable lessons for founders at every stage.

Boast accelerates the success of innovative businesses globally with software that integrates financial, payroll, and engineering data into a single platform of R&D intelligence.
