Beyond the CRM: How Bloks is Building the Ultimate Relationship Management Tool

On the latest episode of What The Tech, we welcome Bloks co-founder and CEO Marc Gingras. We first connected with Marc as part of our activation with the TechTO team at SaaS North in Ottawa back in early November, where Marc took the stage to explain the game-changing innovation behind the Bloks platform.  

At Bloks, Marc’s team is helping Venture Capital and Private Equity partners rethink their work by eliminating the tedious busywork that’s strife in traditional CRMs and investment workflows, freeing teams up to focus on discovering and nurture the future’s most exciting companies.  

This is just part of Marc’s journey through the innovation ecosystem, as he’s been a leading entrepreneur in Ottawa and beyond for more than a decade. I’m excited to learn about his path through Canada’s tech ecosystem, the incredible work his team is doing at Bloks, and what’s on deck for 2026.
