About CloudNative.ca

An Indigenous-owned cloud software company purpose-built to serve the Government of Canada — and the federal departments that need capable Indigenous suppliers for set-aside procurements.

Why we exist

The Government of Canada has committed to ensuring at least 5% of federal contracts go to Indigenous-owned businesses through the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). Reaching that target requires capable Indigenous vendors who can actually deliver on enterprise contracts — not just be listed in a directory.

CloudNative.ca was founded to be that kind of vendor. We build cloud software for the federal context: hosted in Canadian data centres, sized to federal security classifications, and delivered under federal procurement vehicles.

Set-aside contracts only matter if there's an Indigenous vendor capable of executing them. We exist to be that vendor.

What we do, plainly

We design, build, and operate cloud-based software solutions for federal departments. Our work spans custom application development, cloud migration and modernization, identity and access integration, and data platforms. We work in .NET on Microsoft Azure, and we host in Canadian sovereign cloud regions.

We're sized to be responsive — small enough that you talk to the person doing the work, big enough to deliver on real federal contracts.

How we work with departments

Every engagement looks a little different, but the pattern is similar: we start with a discovery conversation about the problem you're trying to solve and the procurement vehicle you're using. From there we shape the response — whether that's a direct PSIB set-aside, a conditional set-aside, a sole source under $40,000 SOSA, or a sub-contracting arrangement under a prime.

We're equally comfortable being the prime contractor on smaller engagements or the Indigenous sub on larger ones. What matters is the work gets done well and the procurement is structured cleanly.

About the artwork

The artwork on our site is in the visual language of Pacific Northwest formline — the same tradition you'll find in the work of our sister company Kìzis Software. The current pieces are AI-generated placeholders. Before we fully launch, we'll commission real work from an Indigenous artist and credit them properly. That matters to us, and we expect it to matter to the departments we work with.
