BIASafe AI has been selected for the ACET (Accélérateur de création d’entreprises technologiques) Accelerator, marking a major milestone in the firm’s institutional growth. ACET is a world-class technology ecosystem supported by National Bank of Canada and the Université de Sherbrooke that specializes in propelling high-tech startups through deep-sector coaching, specialized market intelligence (iA7), and access to dedicated venture capital via ACET Capital. By joining this network, BIASafe gains the strategic validation and professional mentorship needed to bridge the gap between technical innovation and the rigorous commercial standards of the global financial market.
A Focus on Commercialization and Market Intelligence Guidance & Coaching
Rather than a traditional mentorship model, the program has strategically paired BIASafe with Marc-André Renaud, MBA as Head Coach to synchronize the company’s technical roadmap with institutional market demands. A seasoned executive and ex-Managing Partner at Ascension Capital, Marc-André brings over 30 years of leadership experience, including a tenure as Partner at Deloitte and senior leadership roles at Bell and Rogers. As the former CEO of DIREXYON Technologies, where he specialized in AI-driven financial modeling, his background directly mirrors BIASafe’s challenge of translating complex quantitative processes into scalable, no-code solutions. His guidance will focus on accelerating BIASafe’s B2B commercialization and ensuring the BIASafe platform meets the operational rigor required by major banks and asset managers.
Through the ACET program, BIASafe will also work closely with market analysts to refine its go-to-market strategy platform. This collaboration ensures that BIASafe’s tools remain not only technologically superior but also perfectly aligned with the real-world workflows of institutional asset managers.
Eliminating the Technical Barrier to Alpha
BIASafe is a no-code portfolio management platform designed to help investment teams move from a research idea to a live, systematic strategy in minutes. Traditionally, launching a quant mandate required massive engineering budgets, specialized data teams, and complex manual infrastructure. BIASafe eliminates this friction by providing a single, audit-grade terminal that handles the entire investment workflow; from data sourcing and backtesting to automated rebalancing and execution.
“This partnership with ACET and the GTM leadership of Marc-André Renaud are clear signals that the industry is ready to move past the ‘engineering bottleneck’ of systematic investing,”
said Ilyas Zakiat, CFA, CEO & Founder of BIASafe AI.
"Our mission is to democratize QIS by giving portfolio managers their time back. By removing the need to manage developers or fix broken spreadsheets, we are allowing managers to focus on what actually matters: their strategy and their clients."
