U of T Engineering News published a profile of Chatforce co-founder and COO Maeesha Biswas on October 6, 2026: “How BMO National Scholar Maeesha Biswas turned a U of T capstone project into an AI startup with global ambitions”, by Anjali Baichwal.
The profile follows Biswas from BMO National Scholar in 2017 to Industrial Engineering at U of T (IndE 2T2 + PEY, graduating in 2023), and describes how a capstone project brought the Chatforce co-founders together. It notes that Chatforce is a founding industry partner of U of T Engineering’s Engineering Partnerships Office and raised a $2.1 million pre-seed round.
