Rumble Inc.

Video & cloud-services platform · Toronto (founded); dual HQ with Longboat Key, Florida · Greater Toronto Area

Chris Pavlovski grew up in the GTA's Macedonian community, studied at U of T Mississauga, and founded Rumble in Toronto in October 2013 as a video platform for independent creators. The company went public in 2022 at an enterprise value around US$2.1 billion (Nasdaq: RUM), and Rumble's rise made Pavlovski, by January 2025, one of very few Macedonian-Canadian billionaires.

He has kept the connection working: a board seat at Macedonia 2025, an earlier IT firm (Cosmic Development) that grew past 150 staff with an office in Skopje, and — closest to home — Rumble's name among the dinner sponsors of the Macedonian Open in support of Canadian Macedonian Place.
