Nancy Kee was an early adopter of the sourdough craze, already nurturing a mother dough before the bored bakers of 2020 wandered into the kitchen. She took a baking class and learned that plastic was the worst way to store her new artisan loaves so she created the Keeki Bag; a linen drawstring bag with a beeswax lining that keeps the crumb soft and fresh for days longer. Nancy launched Keeki Co to share her invention with the masses when she noticed the hobby spike in popularity during the pandemic. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

After a disappointing shopping trip to one of Vancouver's most 'premium' grocers, Janna Bishop noticed a glaring gap in the familiar farm to table movement. Her father-in-law, a Canadian grain farmer, pointed out that some of the store's bougie offerings would only nab a cattle feed classification on the international commodities market. So, Janna left a career in clothing design and teamed up with foodie friend Shira McDermott to launch Flourist; a company that sources whole grains and legumes from Canadian farmers and connect home cooks and bakers to real, traceable, premium ingredients.
