John WynneMember · Palm BitesOn to the next eventThank you to all who stopped by our booth at GIC this week. Another great event for Palm Bites. We met so many great people and brands. Our next event comes on the heels of GIC. We will be in attendance at the PLMA (Private Label Manufacturer Association) show Nov 15-17 in Chicago. We will be a part of the largest contingent of Canadian companies ever presenting at the event. If anyone else will be in attendance, please stop by or send me a message. We can grab a meal, drink, snack and chat. I am working hard to grab some Hawks tickets while down there. I already have Chicago Wolves tickets lined up. And a few restaurant suggestions. Keep up the great work my fellow Canucks!
Omar AdaouiMember · Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst (TMU)Free Cyber Training for FoodTech Startup Founders & CTOs (worth 3K a seat)Hey everyone! Our Cyber for Startups program is back, and I thought it would be especially valuable for startups currently developing or scaling a platform, product, or tech solution. When you’re focused on getting your business off the ground, cybersecurity can easily take a back seat. But as your product grows, particularly with AI integrations and increasing amounts of customer data, understanding and managing those risks becomes increasingly important. This fully funded, no-cost program is designed to help founders and their teams: Identify and assess cybersecurity risks associated with their products and platforms. Develop a practical cybersecurity roadmap that supports their growth. Build trust with potential customers, enterprise buyers, and investors by demonstrating a proactive approach to security. Beyond protecting your business, having a clear understanding of your security risks and a plan to address them can also help strengthen your position during investor discussions and due diligence. Upcoming sessions: In-person: November 12 in Brampton (full-day workshop) Virtual: Starting November 16 (four sessions) If you’re building a technology startup, I’d highly encourage you to explore the program. It’s a great opportunity to take a closer look at your cybersecurity readiness, with expert guidance and at no cost. Seats are limited , so I’d encourage anyone interested to apply ASAP. Learn more about the program or apply directly here . Feel free to share this with other founders or startup teams who might benefit!Hear from our community of food innovators, CPG companies, and industry leaders who are transforming the Canadian food sector together.
CEO/Founder
“We had built our first prototype in Cambridge, Ontario and we really wanted to go to the next level which was putting it into a real-world environment. CFIN supported us financially for that project and it's made all the difference.”
Co-Founder and COO
“From the entire Cheffer team, we want to express our gratitude to CFIN for their support of our Intelligent Menu-Planning Assistant project. This award has made it possible for us to double down on building technology that can multiply the value we deliver to hospitality and foodservice operators across Canada.”
VP Sustainability & Communications
“Working with CFIN has been lovely. Their funding has obviously been a huge support but the network that they’re cultivating, and the introductions that they’ve made, how they individually care a lot about what we’re doing and accomplishing here makes all the difference.”
