Running a small business is harder than it should be. That’s the problem Huumans aims to solve. The Canadian platform provides small business owners with free tools to build smarter budgets, track spending, compare performance against industry benchmarks based on Statistics Canada data, and connect with products, services, and advice tailored to their needs. Now, Huumans is turning its attention to the people behind those businesses.
The company has launched My Canada. My Story., a national campaign inviting small business owners across Canada to submit a 60-second video explaining who they are, what they are building, and the journey behind their venture.
The campaign aims to highlight the people behind Canada’s more than one million small businesses, offering founders an opportunity to gain visibility while competing for cash prizes and business support.
“On this Canada Day, Huumans is celebrating the Human beings that are the small businesses of Canada. They are not things. They are people. Each owner unique, each story, each human lived experience, a chance to share as only Humans can. Share your story today.” — Bill Murphy, CEO of Huumans
According to Huumans, the initiative is designed to give entrepreneurs a platform to tell their stories at a time when many founders are focused on building products, serving customers, raising capital, and growing their teams.
Participants are encouraged to submit a short video before Canada Day, with no professional production required. The campaign is open to founders and small business owners across the country.
The top three winners will each receive a prize package that includes $10,000 in cash, a trip to Banff, five hours of advisory support through the Huumans advisor marketplace, and a professionally produced video profile that will be distributed across the Huumans network. Beyond the prizes, Huumans says the campaign is intended to create a growing collection of stories showcasing the entrepreneurs helping shape Canada’s business landscape.
Submissions are being accepted through the campaign website until Canada Day. Following the submission period, entries will move into a 15-day public voting phase, with winners scheduled to be announced on July 15, 2026.
For founders interested in participating, the campaign offers a simple challenge: pick up a phone, record a one-minute story, and share the human side of entrepreneurship with the rest of Canada. For more information Huumans site for contest detail.s
