We are a duo of childhood friends who reconnected as adults in Montreal, Canada after years of geographic separation. With diverse academic backgrounds and career paths under our belts, we each bring complementary skills to the table. One of us is the co-founder of 514eats, one of Montreal’s first foodie blogs and influencer platforms, while the other was a fast-food franchise owner and is an avid photographer and videographer. Despite these contrasts, what brought us together is a passion for food, small local businesses and the intersection of the two. With 514seeds, we want to leave our mark on the Montreal economy by helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams.
