Our Story
At Upcomer, our story is woven with the threads of passion, advocacy, and a relentless commitment to empowering immigrant entrepreneurs in Canada. It all began with a vision — a vision to redefine success and break down barriers for those who dared to dream beyond borders.
From disrupting financing for those without Canadian credit history to fostering connections with industry leaders, Upcomer is a catalyst for change. Our initiative spans diverse sectors, including energy, technology, infrastructure, building & architecture, logistics, and beyond. We're not just breaking down barriers; we're building bridges to opportunities.

We believe in the impactful exchange of knowledge, with immigrant entrepreneurs making significant contributions to their communities and achieving sustainable success. Our ultimate vision is to leave a legacy of transformative entrepreneurship, where success knows no bounds.
