About

Trax was co-founded by Azam Khan (CEO) and Simon Breslav (CTO), who both came out of Autodesk Research. Its platform covers bylaws, zoning, applicable law and building codes. On the TechTO stage in September 2026, Khan said the 12-person company has been bootstrapped since 2019 and that its automated code checker gives an initial read on a permit submission in about 15 seconds. Not to be confused with Trax Retail, the unrelated retail-analytics company.

Backers

Bootstrapped since 2019, per Azam Khan on the TechTO stage (September 2026). Non-dilutive support: a DIGITAL co-investment for a municipal AI-training project (2025) and FedDev Ontario, which named Trax.GD Corp among 13 AI funding recipients in May 2026.
