Our Story

A Tale of Immigrants

The story of Migr8+ is the tale of immigrant entrepreneurs who have arrived in Canada with dreams and ambitions. We recognize the unique obstacles and vast potential of these dynamic entrepreneurs, and our objective is to offer more than just a platform. We are establishing a community that provides support for aspirations and opportunities for visions to be realized.

Our Story

An Unwavering Dedication

Migr8+ is more than just a name; it symbolizes our unwavering dedication. As a comprehensive hub, we will provide a range of resources specifically designed for immigrant entrepreneurs. Our venture capital fund is prepared to invest in transformative ideas, ensuring that financial limitations do not impede groundbreaking innovations.

However, our support extends beyond financial assistance. Our non-profit division offers guidance throughout the intricate pathways of venture development, equipping every newcomer entrepreneur with the necessary knowledge, tools, and mentorship for success.

Migr8+ is not just a resource; it is a movement. It is where challenges are transformed into stepping stones, and where different perspectives converge to redefine innovation. We cordially invite you to join us on this transformative journey as, together, we shape the future of entrepreneurship in Canada.

Access to Funding

Newcomer entrepreneurs struggle to secure funding due to lack of credit history and absence of professional networks

Access to Investments

Newcomer investors are often unaware of attractive investment opportunities and structures available
