Our Story

Hello, I'm Ishmeet, and I'm truly honoured to share the story of 100x Community with you. This community is not just an initiative; it's a journey that's deeply meaningful to me.
‍
I am a Software Engineer at Microsoft living in Toronto, Canada. Over the years, I've had the privilege of co-founding startups and being a part of the ever-evolving tech industry. However, it's not just my professional path that has shaped 100x; it's also my personal one.

Back in 2015, I was an international student, just like many of you might be now. I arrived in Canada with dreams, aspirations, and, honestly, a bit of uncertainty. Navigating the complexities of a new country, understanding the Canadian job market, and adapting to a different culture were challenges I faced with humility.
‍

My academic achievements and career journey are not just achievements; they're the reasons why 100x exists today. Along the way, I had wins and hurdles. I made sure to celebrate my wins and, more importantly, to learn from my failures. It's these experiences that have shaped my understanding of the importance of mentorship and support.

I realized that my experiences, both the highs and the lows, could be a source of guidance and support for others. So, I decided to channel my passion for helping people into creating this community.

What started as a small endeavor to mentor students and professionals has grown into 100x. My vision was simple: to create a space where collective wisdom and mentorship could help individuals take significant steps closer to their career and educational goals.

Since then, 100x has evolved into a close-knit family of like-minded individuals who share not only my vision but also a commitment to supporting and empowering each other. Together, we've guided, mentored, and celebrated the achievements of our community members.

Now, your story becomes an essential part of our collective narrative. We're here to craft tales of determination, growth, and triumph together. Join us in this ever-evolving journey, and let's continue to make progress happen, one heartfelt interaction at a time. Welcome to 100x, where every story, including yours, is at the heart of our story.

With humility,
Ishmeet
