DMZ Graduate Spiffy Acquired by Oliver Solutions
Spiffy, a Toronto-based digital training platform for workplaces, has been acquired by Oliver Solutions. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Spiffy was founded in 2016 as a modern micro-learning platform for restaurants looking to upskill their employees on in-store products and brands. As a result of the pandemic, Spiffy pivoted from the restaurant industry into the cannabis retail space. The platform currently serves a number of restaurants and over 1,000 cannabis retailers.
In 2019, Spiffy graduated from the DMZ, a leading business incubator that equips leading tech entrepreneurs with the tools needed to build, launch, and scale start-ups. Goodmans LLP acts as Legal Counsel in Residence at the DMZ.
Oliver Solutions is a longstanding leader in training and education, specifically in Canada’s financial services sector. The acquisition will enable Oliver Solutions to provide a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to engage and educate their workforce while ensuring compliance in regulated learning environments.
