Secrets to Selling your Business with Judith Pineault

Prepare for a successful business transition with this essential workshop on transitions, with guest speaker Thomas Bouvier.

More than half of Ontario’s privately owned companies will change hands in the next decade—yet most owners don’t have a plan. In this session, Thomas Bouvier of Tiny Ltd., the Canadian holding company behind beloved brands like AeroPress, Dribbble, and Letterboxd, will share a practical, founder-first approach to business succession. In partnership with KEDCO, this session is tailored for business owners exploring how to exit with confidence, protect what they’ve built, and ensure long-term continuity.
