Waterloo, Ont.-based Magnet Forensics, Vancouver-based Thinkific and Saskatoon-based Vendasta Technologies confidentially filed documents with regulators, The Globe’s sources said. Meanwhile, Dialogue, a digital health-care platform based in Montreal, priced its initial public offering at $9 to $12 a share, according to new filings, expecting to raise gross proceeds of $100 million. (The Globe and Mail, The Logic)

Talking point: Both Magnet and Thinkific declined to comment, while Vendasta did not return a request for comment. Thinkific, an online learning platform, is benefiting from increased interest in edtech amid the pandemic. In September, the company announced it raised $22 million and was planning to triple its workforce by early this year. Vendasta raised a $40-million round in 2019, a record VC round for Saskatchewan, and also went on a hiring spree recently, saying in July 2020 it planned to add 100 jobs.
