Hi, I’m Demie.
I’m a Calgary-based entrepreneur building product businesses in Canada and sharing the real costs, decisions and lessons along the way.
I created this course because choosing a structure, budgeting, sourcing products and understanding import costs can feel overwhelming when you’re starting. These are the practical resources I wish I’d had at the beginning.
