What is Kasama Connect?

About Kasama Connect

The first Filipino-owned platform built specifically for Filipino Virtual Assistants

Our Mission

KasamaConnect is dedicated to ending the exploitation of Philippine virtual service providers by creating a secure, fair, and transparent platform that empowers Filipino virtual assistants and connects them with global opportunities.

For nearly two decades, the virtual assistant industry has exploited talented Filipino professionals, paying wages as low as $2.50 per hour despite their exceptional skills and work ethic. We’re changing that.

Founded by retired U.S. Army veteran Alistair Mercado, KasamaConnect combines military discipline with entrepreneurial innovation to revolutionize how virtual assistants connect with clients worldwide.

Our Vision

To create a world where Filipino virtual assistants are valued, protected, and empowered to achieve their full potential while connecting global businesses with exceptional talent through a platform built on trust, transparency, and fair compensation.
