Laul Global

What Laul Global does

Laul Global is a family-owned holding company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, operating four interconnected pillars: Education Engine, Real Assets, Future Ventures, and Acquisitions. The group was founded by Sanjay Laul approximately 25 years ago and now spans eight education assets — MSM Unify (a global edtech platform operating across 20+ countries), Florida Coastal University (a fully online US university provisionally licensed by the Florida Commission for Independent Education, headquartered in Jacksonville, FL), and six Canadian vocational and trades institutions (Multihexa College and Collège Multihexa in BC and Québec, Eton College Canada, Taylor Pro College, Extreme Pro Training, and Q Academy). Education offerings cover the full lifecycle from trades through postgraduate, delivered through a mix of online platforms, live digital campus technology, and physical vocational training across British Columbia, Québec, and Florida.

The group makes money through a portfolio of recurring and transactional revenue streams: tuition and program fees from colleges and the university, platform and enrolment fees from MSM Unify, capital returns from Laul Real Estate Group's residential and commercial portfolio across British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, and investment returns from LaulX, its New York-based early-stage tech venture studio. M&A is an explicit growth motion — Sanjay Laul handles acquisition inquiries directly for education businesses across Canada and the US, with no intermediaries. The Future Ventures pillar includes Velric, an AI-powered SaaS platform that uses generative AI and predictive analytics to replace traditional resumes with a standardised proof-of-work benchmark (the Velric Score), targeted at hiring managers. Leadership is concentrated in three family members: Sanjay Laul (Founder/CEO), Tejal Laul (Director, LREG), and Mahir Laul (Founder of LaulX and Velric). The company is private, family-controlled, and has no disclosed external institutional investors.
