A networking company co-founded by a Waterloo Engineering alumnus is expanding a series of product offerings after securing $75 million in its first institutional funding round.
10KC, also known as Ten Thousand Coffees, was launched in 2014 by Elliott Garcea (BASc '11, computer engineering) and Dave Wilkin, a University of Waterloo science graduate, as an online networking platform to bring together students and alumni from post-secondary educational institutions (including Waterloo Engineering) and employees at companies worldwide.
The new investment will be used by the company to help fill gaps in mentorship, employee connectivity and skill development that were exposed in many organizations by the COVID-19 pandemic.
