About Y2O

Built in Canada for the work students actually do

Y2O Growth Inc. is building a student-owned record for the effort, skills, service, work, and leadership young people build beyond grades.
We are launching first in the GTA, then expanding across Ontario and Canada.

What we are building

One record for the work students actually do

Grades show one part of a student. Y2O shows the verified effort behind the student.

  • Activities and hours, logged as they happen.
  • Skills shown in the context where they were built.
  • Named confirmations from the people who saw the work.
The people behind Y2O

Built by family. Shaped by students.

Y2O started with one student question and became a family-built platform for students, families, schools, employers, and communities.

The business voice
Vinay

If a student can prove what they did, the record becomes the leverage.

Vinay brings experience across entrepreneurship, hiring, innovation, and early-career pathways. He grounds Y2O in the realities of work, trust, and opportunity.

The student voice
Varya

If grades do not show all the work, where does the work go?

Varya's experience shaped the original question behind Y2O: students do real work outside class, but much of it has no clear place to live.

The origin

The question we could not answer clearly

Varya was doing what many students do: tutoring, working, helping at home, joining teams, and building real skills. The problem was simple. Most of that work did not appear on a transcript, résumé, or application in a trusted way.

The honest answer was nowhere. So we started building Y2O: a record students can own, update, verify, and carry forward.

What we believe

Five values we will not compromise

Every product decision starts here. If a choice does not pass these values, it does not ship.

01

Student-owned

The record belongs to the student, across schools, applications, and life after graduation.

02

Verified by people

Confirmation by a real person beats an unverified claim or black-box algorithm.

03

Built with students

Students test the product. If they would not use it, we redesign it.

04

Built with partners

Schools, employers, programs, and communities shape what verification looks like in practice.

05

Built for what comes next

Y2O must work beyond Grade 12 for scholarships, jobs, admissions, and early talent pathways.

Built in Canada

Starting in the GTA. Built for Canada.

Y2O is launching where the student, school, employer, and community ecosystem is dense enough to test properly.
The rollout starts in the GTA, expands across Ontario, and then scales across Canada.
