Immigrant Entrepreneur: Amine Rahal

Amine immigrated from North Africa, Algeria at the age of 12 years old with his family to Canada. They came initially because his parents wanted to relocate to another city where French was spoken. His parents came to give their kids better opportunities and a better life.

Amine was always interested in software since he was a young boy. All because, back in Africa they had a computer when they were growing up. So he naturally gravitated towards anything related to computers or software development.

Amine never imagined that he was going to become an entrepreneur, so when he was fired from his job something inside of him told him that he should start a side hustle. His journey took him to New York, and then to China and that's where he turned his side hustle into his full time entrepreneurial venture.

Amine is also an author of the book: Immigrant Hustle. This book featured 50 amazing immigrants from all over the world and shares their stories and experiences to entrepreneurship.
