About the speakers:
Twins and former Facebook employees Vijay and Vino Jeyapalan are the founders of Kabo, Canada's largest direct-to-consumer fresh dog food brand. Customers complete a simple survey—which asks about their pet's age, breed and activity level—to come up with a personalized, nutritious meal plan made from locally-sourced ingredients like 100% Canadian beef sweet potatoes, green peas and apples.
Vijay and Vino spent 10+ years working in the growing world of digital marketing. The twins have led growth efforts from startups like More Labs to big box retailers like Walmart.
