We hosted our first pilot at UoT Entrepreneurship's ONRamp with support from ICUBE and Ignacio. We would like to move beyond offering an annual Summit into sustainable programs with social and economic impact for our participants. Our biggest challenge is developing a robust business model/revenue model to build a sustainable social enterprise.

Afrocart is an e-commerce business designed to help African immigrants get access to products they can not access in Canada. We have served over 200 customers since our inception. We make use of two forms of service; postal delivery and local delivery. Postal delivery is more for individuals who dont have access to an African store at all. They often have to ship from Africa. It takes 2-7 days for delivery to happen. Here we are filing an immediate need in the market. Local delivery is for customers who can not make the long commute to an African store. This saves them time and money. It is a scheduled form of delivery so it happens any day in the week. It is available in Mississauga and Toronto. 

As humans, we have inherited the extraordinary gift of the ability to see things and make sense of the visual inputs. Often, this gift of ours is taken for granted - the processing of visual inputs by our brains is virtually involved in our everyday tasks. Our society continues to realize the economic benefits of automation. In order to advance to the next level of automation, an important obstacle to overcome is to enable computers to also have the same gift of autonomously processing visual inputs - and this gave birth to AI computer vision. AIH is an AI computer vision technology startup based in Toronto. Our mission is to address the challenges in multiple traditional industries, including finance, security, public safety, and senior care. Our computer vision algorithm has undergone a series of vigorous optimization processes, making us one of the most practical tech solutions in facial recognition. Specifically, our algorithm is optimized towards scale so that our facial recognition is capable of handling high-throughput analytics (i.e. large crowds of people). Optimization includes modifying low level framework and designing computationally efficient model architecture. We have also implemented an advanced preprocessing procedure that deals with different lighting situations, partially obstructed faces, various levels of noise and blurs. Each detected face is first restored into normalized state before it is fed into the comparison module. In the finance sector, our technology is a gateway to automating the KYC (Know your customer) process even further, by providing facial recognition as a practical and reliable way for digital ID verification. Such solutions can be implemented to provide more efficient ways of executing large-value transactions, automated banking, etc. Despite being a young company, we have made important tractions that we are very proud of. For example, we have deployed our first AI senior wandering prevention system at a Toronto senior’s home. Using AI, we are making sure the safety of seniors living with dementia are looked after. Furthermore, we are launching more pilot projects in the foreseeable future with our partners in the private security and public safety fields, including criminal investigators in municipal police departments etc.

Everyone remembers playing sports as a kid. Unfortunately, as you grow up, you get busier and busier, all while losing touch with your friends. As a result, 67% of adults will never play sports again. In 2017, Javelin Sports co-founders Justin Ford and Coleman Chan realized that they might end up being a part of this statistic. Together, they co-founded Javelin Sports and launched Javelin July 2018 to help fix this problem. Since then, Justin and Coleman have helped more than 4,000 people play sports around the world.

However, starting from zero can be stressful! Having to work with multiple companies to have an online presence can be scary, especially if it is your first time.

It was precisely this concept that led us to enter this field. In the hope that we can play a small role in the development and improvement of the world around us and help you shine with our all-in-one marketing and branding services.
