Join us on May 29th for an exclusive Fireside Chat with Mike Fata, the visionary entrepreneur behind Manitoba Harvest—the company he co-founded, scaled, and sold for a staggering $400 million.

 

Mike’s journey is one of grit, reinvention, and purpose-driven growth. From launching a hemp-based food business before the market was ready, to building it into a global leader in plant-based nutrition, Mike’s story is packed with lessons for founders, operators, and investors alike.

 

In this intimate conversation, we’ll dive into:

• The early days of building Manitoba Harvest from scratch
• Navigating scaling challenges and major inflection points
• What it really takes to position your company for a successful exit
• Life after a $400M deal — investing, advising, and giving back
• Why mission, mindset, and community still drive everything he does

 

Whether you're deep in the trenches of your own venture or just starting to imagine what’s possible, this fireside chat promises raw insights, honest reflections, and real inspiration from one of Canada’s most accomplished founders.
