"I was really intrigued by the crowdfunding module. It opened up a whole new way of thinking about how we can fund and grow our ideas within our communities. I wish I had known more about trademarks when I was first starting. Protecting your brand is such an important part of building a business, especially as an Indigenous entrepreneur."
