Founder Gautam Gordan Nath shares their story.

Knackstor(nack-ster) pulls its meaning from the word knack … so a Knackstor is an older adult possessing a unique talent or skill.

Retirement today is NOT what it was yesterday — far from it. In fact, any one of retirement age (whatever that is) looks upon that term as a “four letter word.” In many cases, older adults who have left the workforce still feel they have something of value to contribute, but struggle with how to reconnect to the work world. Knackstor acts as a portal back to that world.

The process couldn’t be simpler. Seniors register on the platform and the software matches them with businesses looking for a contract worker. Knackstors can even be hired by individuals looking to learn a new hobby for themselves or a family member. Anything’s possible.

Knackstor launched in 2020 to spur social change and create new opportunities for retirees to use their talent, skill, experience, and life.

During the period of the pandemic, when virtual work from home is widespread, many parents have challenges keeping their children busy. Knackstors can enter their homes virtually and address this need.

Corporates can sponsor Knackstor hours for their employees working from home as a HR perk.

Knackstors can earn or also volunteer their hours for low income consumers or front line workers.

Knackstors are all security verified by screening Canada to ensure safety for all.

We aim to change the meaning of retirement and give back a longer and more meaningful life to seniors here in Canada and slowly across the world. Life after retirement will never be the same.
