91猎奇 has come a long way from our humble beginnings as a small startup working out of the University of Waterloo聽. In just a few short years, we鈥檝e helped over 40,000 international students pursue their dream of obtaining an education in Canada and the United States. As the number of students we鈥檝e helped has grown, so too has our company. Our diverse team of industry professionals now includes over 160 people, including colleagues in Beijing, Nepal, Vietnam, and India. However, while 91猎奇 is a global company, Kitchener, Ontario is still our home.

As our team has expanded, we鈥檝e had to move into bigger spaces across Downtown Kitchener 鈥� not once, not twice, but thrice. This time last year, you could find us on the 4th floor of the RBC building on Duke Street. However, it didn鈥檛 take long for us to outgrow this space, prompting a search for a new headquarters. At the beginning of 2019, we moved a couple of blocks over to a much bigger office, occupying the entire 6th floor of The Galleria Building on Frederick Street. After a few months to settle in, we鈥檝e decided it鈥檚 time to share our new home with our community.
That鈥檚 right: you’re invited to the 91猎奇 Grand Opening!
翱苍听Wednesday, April 17, 2019, 91猎奇 will be hosting an event to celebrate not only our new office, but our success as one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada鈥檚 Technology Triangle. We鈥檝e invited some of our community鈥檚 top tech leaders, educators, and government officials to come out and join in on the fun.
The festivities will kick off at聽1:30 PM. The ribbon cutting ceremony and speeches from 91猎奇 Co-Founder and CEO, Martin Basiri, and other special guests will follow at聽2:30 PM.
We鈥檒l also be officially unveiling a new company mural designed by local artist聽. This mural encapsulates our 鈥渟tudent first鈥� company values and reflects our strong belief in diversity and community. We can鈥檛 wait to share this office centrepiece with you and hope you will check out Stephanie鈥檚聽, which includes murals for other local tech companies such as聽,听, and聽.

Of course, it wouldn鈥檛 be a party without food and drink! Food and refreshments will be provided for our guests over the course of the event, and we鈥檒l also have some surprise entertainment. Guests are invited to take a tour of the office and if you need any help, just ask one of our staff members to show you around. Bonus points if you can locate one of our three on-site massage chairs! We only ask that you share, as once you sit down, you may not want to get up again!
