6. What are your goals for 2026?
2026 is about transitioning from infrastructure to impact. My focus is to successfully launch Curlitta™, execute a strategic market entry, and build deep customer trust through quality and storytelling. Beyond launch, I aim to establish strong manufacturing foundations, secure strategic partnerships, and position Curlitta as a premium Canadian brand with global potential.
Also focusing on professional development, maintaining mental health, and ensuring alignment with personal values.
7. How did the Mississauga Starter Company Plus program help you start or expand your business?
The Starter Company Plus program has provided the strategic roadmap and financial bridge necessary to move Curlitta™ from a home-based startup in Mississauga toward my goal of becoming a globally recognized, Canadian-led premium doll and lifestyle brand. The Program provided me with critical support in several key areas like strategic mentorship and advisory, institutional engagement, and business planning which are essential for securing future investment and navigating global markets.
