Im hosting a meetup downtown toronto with Jake and Mike if you can make it?

LIVE IN-PERSON EVENT: Toronto DTC Meetup Sept 20th

Friday, Sept 20th @ 5 pm EDT... Downtown Toronto: Canadian founders reveal how they built $100M+ brands, mastered storytelling, secured millions in funding, and crushed their markets - all from right here on home turf.

Canadian entrepreneurship is dying. I’m hosting meetups to fix that.

Why?

1/ 80% of Canadian startups are forced to seek US funding

2/ We're losing our best talent to more "investment-friendly" markets

3/ Canadian entrepreneurs are shutting down due to lack of support

But what if you could learn from founders who've built $100M+ brands right here in Canada?

Last meetup we hosted with 280+ brands

Enter Jake Karls (Mid-Day Squares), Mike Fata (Manitoba Harvest), Karen Danudjaja (Blume), a few special guests, and yours truly.

Picture this: 

Four incredible success stories, one room of 200+ brands, and a mission to help you succeed.

Fast forward to today, and they've:

1/ Built 8 and 9-figure brands (in-store and Amazon / DTC)

2/ Raised MILLIONS in funding

3/ Secured massive retail partnerships (Between them they are in thousands of stores)

4/ Attracted high-profile investors and international attention

How did they do it?

I've brought them together for our Canadian Entrepreneur Revival Tour to give you the playbook on growth strategies, fundraising tactics, and scaling secrets - applicable to any category.

We'll talk about:

  • How your authenticity and unique experiences are your secret weapon

  • Mastering the art of storytelling to build a powerful brand

  • Strategies for fundraising and brand-building in 2024

  • How they're crushing it on Amazon and eComm combined with retail

  • Open Q&A with Jake, Mike, Karen, and special guests (nothing's off-limits)

If you're building a brand in Canada, this is your launchpad.

Bonus: Free shuttle service from CHFA (that paid WAY too much for)

  • Pickup at Exhibition Place at 4:30 PM

  • Drop off at 7:00 PM

When: Friday, Sept 20th, 5 pm EDT

Where: 1 University Ave, Toronto
