Humi

Last night, I had the honor of delivering the opening remarks at DisruptHR Halifax, an event that truly lived up to its name in shaking up the conversation around people and workplaces. Humi was proud to be the title sponsor for this inspiring gathering of HR innovators and leaders. As Canada’s leading employment platform, we’re passionate about empowering organizations to maximize their people’s potential by blending cutting-edge technology with human expertise. In my remarks, I shared how Humi partners with incredible organizations to bring the people touch into HR and payroll—because we know that behind every system, there’s a person who matters. It’s events like these that remind us why we do what we do at Humi: to make work better for everyone. A big thank you to the organizers and attendees for making this such an unforgettable evening. Here’s to continuing the conversation and driving meaningful change in the world of work! #DisruptHR #Humi #CanadianTech #HRInnovation

To raise or not to raise? Fundraising isn’t one-size-fits-all. At #InnovationWeekYYC, founders and experienced VCs shared their wins, missteps, and strategies. In a panel held at Platform Calgary, the conversation featured April Hicke of Toast, Cameron Burke of Fort Capital Partners, Kevin Kliman of Humi, and Judyanna Yu of One Six 8 Ventures. Here’s what they had to say: ✅ April Hicke: Bootstrapping is underrated. By avoiding external funding, Hicke emphasized the ability to maintain control over business decisions, ensuring her company stays mission-driven. “Being able to grow sustainably and stay purpose-driven has worked for us,” she said. ✅ Cameron Burke: Avoid the pressure to conform. Early on, Burke felt compelled to follow traditional paths others had taken, which didn’t align with his business needs. He urged founders to chart their own course: “I thought the way other people do it is the way I should be doing it.” ✅ Judyanna Yu: Preparation is key for venture capital. “Be ready enough for VC, where you do have a clear plan of how you're going to expand [and] how much.” she explained. ✅ Kevin Kliman: Building in Canada offers key advantages, including access to non-dilutive funding and lower costs. “There are a whole lot of advantages of being a resident here and paying Canadian taxes,” Kliman said.
