It started with sushi rolls and bold ideas.
A community born at a dinner table, now connecting eCommerce founders across four continents. This is how it happened, who's behind it, and where we're going next.
A sushi dinner. A sharedfrustration.A much bigger idea.
Great ideas often begin in the most unexpected places. For Ecom North, it all started at a sushi dinner in March 2024. Nic and Adi were friends with a shared passion for eCommerce, but it wasn't until that evening that they realized the full potential of their combined experiences.
There was no community like this for founders in Canada. So we built one.
As they swapped stories and brainstormed over sushi rolls, the idea of Ecom North came to life a community where DTC sellers, leaders, and innovators could come together to inspire, connect, and grow.
