At Commerce Toronto, Ian Slipacoff, Owner of Dumouchel Meat & Deli and co-founder of Bingeworthy Snacks, shares how a third-generation butcher became one of Canada's early DTC e-commerce pioneers.
In 2014, Ian launched a direct-to-consumer fresh meat platform on Shopify before most Canadian brands knew what that meant - growing it from $500 a day to $500,000 a month during COVID, then walking away from his family business to acquire a butcher shop founded in 1948. This talk is essential viewing for founders in food, DTC, and anyone thinking about buying or scaling an existing business.
