A serial entrepreneur, Buddhika has founded three companies in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He founded LayerNext after experiencing firsthand how painful it is to run a business without clean books and real-time financial insights.

ZOOMi Technologies is a Winnipeg-based AI company focused on building practical, production-ready AI systems for real business problems. Over the past two years, ZOOMi has worked closely with small and mid-sized businesses across multiple industries and consistently observed the same challenge: financial data is fragmented, manual, and always behind.
