Our world doesn’t have borders!

What is
PlatformX?

PlatformX was born as a systemic solution to the question, “How can we increase awareness about the entrepreneurial resources and opportunities in Canada?”
PlatformX delivers ​a high-impact method ​to address immigrant entrepreneurs’ most significant pain points.

Why we’re doing this?

Immigration and building a business are each a big challenge. When combined, they push the immigrant entrepreneurs to their limits, causing some to fail despite their competencies. We’re doing this to…

  • promote equity, diversity, and accessibility in the global startup scene.

  • pave a path for immigrant entrepreneurs to settle, launch and grow businesses.

  • promote entrepreneurship, for the benefit of our society, and the world.

How we’re doing this?

There are entrepreneurs all over the world, but not all of them have access to resources like what’s available in North America. As immigrant entrepreneurs, we’re committed to bridging this gap by taking these steps:

  • Finding passionate entrepreneurs

  • Empower them for the change

  • Put them in good hands
