HumanSquad, a Nigerian immigration startup, has announced a 6-figure pre-seed investment led by Calm Fund to accelerate the development of proprietary immigration technology products.
Tunde Omotoye, the company’s Co-founder and CEO, confirmed the development in a statement on Friday, saying that the fund will help the startup accelerate the development of proprietary immigration tech products.
HumanSquad, an immigration technology company, connects immigrants to resources, products, and personalized assistance.
Tunde Omotoye (CEO) and Temilola Adebayo (COO & Head of Storytelling) founded the Canada-based startup in 2020.
According to Omotoye, the fundraising comes exactly two years after the company’s launch and will allow the company to move more effectively in all areas critical to its success.
As part of the funding, the company will also receive invaluable support from Calm Fund’s strong network of other founders and VCs.
“The past 2 years have been filled with incredible progress. We’ve been building other sub-products under HumanSquad, hiring, getting recognized in Canada’s startup ecosystem, and getting ready to ship a study abroad product to its first users in a couple of weeks. Everything started with just two people until now.
“In terms of product, we will continue the development of our proprietary immigration tech product as well as the study abroad product which we have been building in the past few months. Our vision is to create products along the immigration value chain that are world-class in terms of usability and simplicity,” said Omotoye.
The company is always pushing the limits of what immigration products can offer.
“We foresee that there will be an entirely new category of APIs built on top of our products within a few years, and we want to be at the forefront of the development,” added Omotoye
The company will also hire some exceptional software engineers, marketing leaders, and design experts to join them on their journey.
Joining HumanSquad at this stage is ideal for those who enjoy taking ownership and want to play a key role in the evolution of our products and HumanSquad as a company.
