About
Candice Faktor was Wattpad's global general manager and head of business, scaling it toward 80 million users before its US$660-million sale in 2021, and had co-founded Torstar Digital before that; she launched the seed fund Faktory Ventures in 2017. Chris Sukornyk had founded six venture-backed companies, most recently Chango, acquired in 2015. They started Disco in 2020 for people who teach for a living — accelerators, training businesses, customer-education and internal L&D teams — with programs, community and analytics in one place. The company raised a US$4.75-million seed from Inovia Capital, Golden Ventures, StandUp Ventures and GSV Ventures with angels, then a $15-million Series A in 2022 from investors behind MasterClass and Coursera. Its current positioning is AI-native: an Ask AI feature that answers learners from the organisation's own content and discussions. Faktor spoke at TechTO in 2017 for Faktory Ventures and again in 2025 with StandUp Ventures.
