Onix Named to Canada's Top 100 AI Startups for ALL IN 2026
Onix has been named to Canada's Top 100 AI Startups for a second year, and will showcase Personal Intelligence at ALL IN 2026 in Montréal this September.
MONTREAL, QC - July 21, 2026 - Onix, the company building Personal Intelligence®, has been named to Canada’s Top 100 AI Startups for 2026, its second consecutive year on the list. ALL IN selected this year’s cohort from a record field of more than 330 applicants, and Onix will present its work at the event’s Startup Zone in Montréal on September 16 and 17.
ALL IN is Canada’s largest AI and technology event, now in its fourth edition. It brings together 7,500 participants from more than 40 countries, including investors, business leaders, buyers, government representatives, and researchers, with a deliberate balance of organizations adopting AI and companies building it. The 2026 list spans healthcare, manufacturing, energy, financial services, cybersecurity, mobility, and education, a cross-section of where AI is moving from pilot to daily practice across the Canadian economy.
Onix’s place on the list reflects a specific bet about where that practice is headed. Most AI is assembled from the internet’s average answer and refined by watching how people use it. Onix builds the opposite: private, expert-led intelligence systems trained on a single expert’s licensed work, with conversations end-to-end encrypted and stored on the user’s own device rather than centrally logged. The company launched in health and wellness with a founding cohort of physicians and researchers, on the premise that specificity and privacy, not scale alone, are what make guidance worth trusting.
“The best knowledge was never online to scrape, and experts only bring it where they own what they build,” said David S. Bennahum, Co-Founder and CEO of Onix. “Onix is built on those terms.”
“The bottleneck in AI stopped being compute and became consent and trust,” said Dr. Nicholas Nadeau, Co-Founder and CTO of Onix. “A model built to know everything answers with the average of everything. We built the opposite: one expert per model, and an ecosystem of them to call on.”
