About Gigsup
Why we exist, in our founder's own words.
Welcome.
If you're here, you've probably asked yourself a version of this question: "Is this the right path for me?"
I've asked it too.
In high school, I was told I should become a doctor. In graduate school, I was told I should be an investment banker. Later in corporate, I was told I should just keep climbing.
At every stage, I felt something many people quietly feel: uncertain. Misaligned. Like I was solving someone else's equation.
You are not alone in that.
The world of work is changing faster than ever. New skills matter. New roles are emerging. Old paths are dissolving. And yet we still expect people to make life-altering career decisions with fragmented advice, outdated assessments, and job boards built for volume instead of alignment.
The old playbook is broken. Career guidance shouldn't be a guessing game. It shouldn't be résumé spray-and-pray. And it shouldn't require you to fit yourself into a mold that was never built for you.
Gigsup was created for this moment. We believe human potential is vast, but alignment is rare. We built Gigsup to help you discover who you really are, match to career pathways that actually fit, and achieve your advantage with a personalized education, mentor, and job strategy designed around you.
From high school decisions to your first job after university to mid-career growth or pivots: career clarity is not a one-time event. It's a lifelong navigation challenge.
This isn't about applying to more jobs. It's about aiming properly. Telling your story with clarity. Building skills with intention. And moving forward with confidence.
The future of work is accelerating. But clarity will always be your advantage.
We're so glad you're here. Let's build your next chapter, intentionally.
With conviction,
Stephanie

Our founder
Stephanie spent years inside lululemon watching talented people, including herself, navigate careers with almost no real signal about fit. The tools everyone leaned on were built decades ago for a world of work that no longer exists.
Teaching is where it stopped being abstract. As a professor she sat with students semester after semester and heard the same story: nobody had helped them think this through in high school. They had picked a program because a parent suggested it, or because it sounded respectable, or because no one had offered a third option. Some were thriving. Many were quietly in the wrong place, two years and thousands of dollars deep, and the cost of that misdirection landed entirely on them.
So she went back to first principles. Her PhD research in talent analytics became VISI, Gigsup's own assessment of values, interests, skills, and identity, built and validated the slow, honest way rather than licensed off the shelf.
She founded Gigsup on a stubborn thesis: every student deserves career intelligence, not career guesswork. That thesis has carried Gigsup onto Dragons' Den and into BC Business, to the SupeTank top 30 out of hundreds of applicants across North America, semifinalist at the Accelerate Okanagan Angel Summit 2026, winner of Pitchtank at Toronto Tech Week 2026, and into its first school pilot at our pilot school.
She lives in Vancouver with her husband and three kids, who are also her toughest product testers.
Change the game.
