MoveNavi is building the global gateway for immigration and travel, connecting three questions in one platform: Where can I go? How do I get there? How can I stay? The hard problem is not finding more information. It is turning fragmented, multilingual and constantly changing visa and residency rules into clear, comparable and traceable information. Each passport, destination and purpose can change the answer. At the core is MNAI, our proprietary AI-assisted data collection and verification engine. We have built its initial foundation to support official-source collection, structured extraction, cross-checking and conflict detection, with traceable evidence. We are developing change monitoring to make ongoing updates more efficient. The goal is to let a lean team expand global coverage without proportionate increases in manual work. Uncertainty is flagged, not hidden. Our working beta includes destination discovery, country and program information, comparisons and mobile access. Planned products include family passport management, policy alerts, AI-assisted document organization and application-preparation tools. Our business starts with free discovery and builds commercial value as users develop real travel and relocation needs. Planned revenue streams are memberships, paid AI tools, advertising from immigration and local-service providers, and enterprise data services. We are a technology and information platform, not an immigration agency; we do not represent applicants or replace licensed advisers. Our founding team combines technology entrepreneurship, platform engineering and commercialization experience. Building from Montreal for a worldwide market, we aim to become the place people start their immigration and travel decisions, backed by a growing, reusable global data asset.

At Maihem, our mission is to empower every manufacturer, no matter their scale, to invent and build anything using intelligent robots. We are witnessing the start of a new industrial revolution—an era of rapid innovation and advanced manufacturing powered by AI and robotics. We aim to lead this shift by putting these tools into the hands of every manufacturer, ensuring the power to invent and build at scale isn’t a privilege of the few. But this era of abundance depends on solving a systemic labor crisis. For any economy to advance its industry and secure its supply chains, it must address the work that no longer attracts a human workforce. We are building AI to handle the dull, dirty, and dangerous. By offloading the hazardous and the mundane to intelligent machines, we empower manufacturers to compete globally while driving prosperity locally. In doing so, we enable the creation of new, purposeful jobs—ensuring that the future of innovation remains human-centric, boundless, and accessible to all.
