SASKATOON, SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA, April 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Immigrate Software Celebrates Graduation from Co.Labs Tech Incubator
Immigrate Software, a pioneering immigration services tech startup headquartered in Saskatchewan, proudly announces its upcoming graduation from the esteemed Co.Labs Incubator program on April 10th, 2024. Founded by Keli Propp and Dirk Propp, Immigrate has thrived within the Co.Labs ecosystem since May 2018, benefiting profoundly from the invaluable support and resources provided by the incubator.
Over the past seven years, Immigrate Software has facilitated over 500 Canadian businesses in addressing labor shortages by facilitating the hiring of international workers. The co-founders express profound gratitude towards Co.Labs for its pivotal role in nurturing their growth, empowering Immigrate to assist Canadian businesses while aiding thousands of clients in establishing Canada as their new home.
A Journey of Persistence and Innovation
The inception of Immigrate dates back to December 2017, when co-founder Dirk Propp, leveraging his successful immigration consultancy background, discerned an opportunity to revolutionize the immigration process through technological innovation. Acceptance into the Co.Labs program in May 2018 marked a seminal moment for the company, initiating a phase of intensive product development and readiness for potential investors.
The pursuit of transforming the immigration landscape was a challenging endeavor, compounded by the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic, necessitating a temporary halt and strategic pivot in 2020. In February 2021, the company secured its inaugural investment during the inaugural Startup TNT summit in Saskatchewan. The team, consisting of four dedicated members at the time, subsequently garnered additional funding in April 2022.
Under the stewardship of CEO Keli Propp, appointed in May 2023, Immigrate successfully launched the second iteration of its platform, amassing over 35,000 users within its initial nine months of operation.
