Our Story

Nisto began its journey on the ancient pehonan, often referred to as amiskwaciwâskahikan or Edmonton in Alberta, Canada, in 2018 by Indigenous and non-Indigenous group of makers, helpers, and builders.

The question that brought us together was simple: how can we aid the many forward-thinking, ethical businesses in the Canadian marketplace with technology to tell their story with more credibility and build stronger relationships with those communities they profess to have an impact with?

Since then, our team, ambitions, and understanding of what drives social impact and what effective measurement looks like have grown. The result?

The creation and continual improvement of foundational tools that leading organizations in Canada rely on today. But what hasn’t changed is our passion for enabling intelligent, sustainable practices in organizations that have outsized impacts on the communities around us.
