We are proud to announce that Kingmansa has won 1st Place at Startup Experience Day 2026, hosted by Embark at Trinity Western University.

This achievement marks a major milestone for our Canada-based global B2B export-import marketplace and a strong validation of our vision to simplify international trade through secure, structured, and technology-driven solutions.

A Winning Pitch for the Future of Global B2B Trade

Held at the Robert G. Kuhn Building in Langley, the event brought together six high-potential startups competing before a distinguished panel of judges and mentors.

Representing Kingmansa on stage, Zahirul Haq, Founder & CEO, delivered a powerful and forward-looking pitch outlining how Kingmansa is transforming international B2B trade by:

Connecting verified exporters and global buyers
Enabling secure local currency cross-border payments
Providing escrow protection to reduce transaction risks
Integrating end-to-end logistics support
Building a unified digital infrastructure for global trade

“This recognition reinforces our mission to remove friction, payment risks, and inefficiencies in cross-border trade. We are building infrastructure that empowers exporters and buyers to trade globally with confidence.”
— Zahirul Haq, Founder & CEO, Kingmansa

The judges recognized Kingmansa’s strong market positioning, scalable model, and its potential to solve real-world challenges faced by SMEs worldwide.

Solving Critical Challenges in Export-Import Trade

Global commerce continues to grow rapidly. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises still struggle with:

Payment delays and currency volatility
Limited trust between international trading partners
Difficulty accessing verified buyers and suppliers
Fragmented and complex logistics processes
Lack of integrated trade infrastructure

Kingmansa is building a secure, scalable global B2B marketplace designed to simplify export-import transactions while reducing financial and operational risks.

By combining verification, payment security, escrow systems, and logistics coordination in one unified platform, Kingmansa aims to create a safer and more efficient international trade environment.

Winning 1st Place at Startup Experience Day 2026 is a strong validation from Canada’s startup ecosystem and industry leaders, reinforcing that the global market needs a better way to trade.
