Woman Founder
Karan arrived in Canada as a five-year-old refugee from Sri Lanka. He started his entrepreneurial career young, working as a paperboy. Inspired by a high school mentor who taught him how to invest, Karan became an analyst at Barclays in London. But there, he saw inefficiencies in the finance industry that he wanted to fix. So, he left Barclays, joined the Campus London community, and started WealthKernel.
WealthKernel is a platform that helps banks serve customers in a simpler, more cost-effective way. During the six-month Residency, Karan grew his team by 40%, raised £90K in capital, and completed a live trade in the financial markets—a real milestone for the platform he’d built from scratch. Since the Residency, WealthKernel has launched a new consumer product, WealthSmart, an online investment tool. Today, the company continues to grow.
"We got access to mentors, experienced founders, and Google employees who provided valuable support and expertise to help us scale. Campus has broadened my horizons as an entrepreneur—it opened my eyes to everything I didn't know but needed to. It really fosters your growth, and meeting people from all walks of life adds to that."
