Congratulations to Pre-Incubator startup Philer AI, an advanced real estate closing platform, on receiving approval from the Law Society of Ontario to offer AI-driven real estate legal services. “There is a lot of manual work involved between finalizing the property you want to buy and moving into it,” said CEO Ankita Sharma. “Our mission is to make this milestone a celebration, not a stressful and exhausting project you can’t wait to get over.” READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/gkcJKT4i

Our Executive Director, Abdullah Snobar, ICD.D, covers the premiere edition of 3 magazine. The magazine was inspired by a long-standing gap in the Canadian media landscape: Despite frequent discussions about the vital role immigrants play in Canada's growth and the nation’s commitment to diversity, few media outlets truly engage with this community. 3 is a luxury lifestyle magazine with content that lies at the intersection of culture, lifestyle, business and innovation. Thank you to 3 for giving us a platform to share his story, and how his roots have shaped the leader he is today. Read the profile on Abdullah’s life, his upbringing, his family—  and how his roots have shaped him into the leader he is today ⤵️ Muraly Srinarayanathas, Stacy Lee Kong, Adam Cholewa , Jalani Morgan , Sahar Rana , Jasmine Precious Mistry, Neil Franklyn, Melissa Vincent
