#FounderFriday is a weekly series I started in May 2020 to amplify Sampler’s #ComeTogetherTO campaign and the brand promotions it included. It expanded to help bring awareness to brands across Canada with the only goal being to help local brands increase visibility, sales and perhaps meet a new partner.

It’s with mixed emotions the series was put on an indefinite hiatus in November 2020. I’m sad it’s come to an end but thrilled about the reason: founders are too busy getting on shelves and moving product to respond!
Over the series featured over 100 founders with 60% being women and 37% BIPOC-led.
Thank you to all who took part, either as a feature or a supporter!
I’m hoping to bring it back in the future – please continue to submit your company or one you love for future features!
Only requirements are the founder and the company are Canadian and are active on LinkedIn – there is no cost beyond the time it take to answer 3 questions.
