About Facilitate
Built where the gap is, to close it.
Facilitate grew up in Toronto's innovation ecosystem, inside the institutions we now work with, and in the communities that raised us. From all three we carry one job: get a person at the start of their working life from ready to seen.
Grown inside the ecosystem we now strengthen.
Facilitate did not arrive from outside. It grew up inside the same ecosystem, accelerated and supported by the institutions in it.
University of Toronto Entrepreneurship
ICUBE, one of thirteen campus-linked accelerators in the University of Toronto Entrepreneurship network, accelerated Facilitate onto the market.
Osgoode Hall Law School
Our intellectual-property foundation was built with the IP Innovation Clinic at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University.

Built by people who walked the path first.
Kay Boamah and Paul Boamah are builders from the communities Facilitate now serves. They went from a first idea to a first income the long way. So they built the guide they wished they had, and the next person gets there sooner and is seen when they arrive.
Opportunity starts early. Value stays local.
Facilitate brings a community's own talent, founders, employers and institutions together around one shared goal. Every person at the start of their working life crosses from potential to income, and the community keeps what they build. We are the technology that brings that ecosystem together: technology made human.
Your chapter is next.
Every community we join adds a chapter of first jobs and first ventures. Tell us about yours.
Work with usToo many people finish school able and unseen by the people who can say yes. We are here to end unemployment at the start of working life, one connected region at a time.
