Did Derek Hall co-found Uvaro?
Yes. Communitech (2021-11-03) says Uvaro was launched in January 2020 by Joseph Fung, his sister Donna Litt and co-founder Derek Hall, evolving out of the trio's previous venture, Kiite. BetaKit (2021-11-03) names the same three co-founders, and University of Waterloo News (2022-01-31) captions a photo "Uvaro founders Donna Litt, Derek Hall and Joseph Fung."
What did Derek Hall do before Uvaro?
He built Kiite with Fung and Litt. Communitech (2021-11-03) describes Kiite as a software platform that helped sales teams capture and organize the information needed to close deals; Communitech's Entrepreneur Hall of Fame piece on Fung (2023-06-01) says Kiite launched in 2017 and calls Hall "a frequent partner in enterprise creation." No fetched page gives his title at either company.
Has Derek Hall spoken at TechTO?
No. Co-founder Joseph Fung did, at TechTO SalesTO on 2018-08-07, presenting "AI and the Future of Sales Enablement" for Kiite, before the Uvaro program existed.
Where is Derek Hall based, and what is he doing now?
No public page states his current role or city. Uvaro itself is finished: BetaKit (2025-08-15) reports that Uvaro and its subsidiary Lighthouse Labs filed a notice to creditors on 2025-08-01, appointed GlassRatner as trustee and stopped operations immediately, with Uvaro listing about $5.7 million in liabilities. The uvaro.com homepage was still online on 2026-10-16 but carries no notice of the closure.
