Build Something Real Together
We work with local suppliers, food brands, and community kitchens across Quebec who share our approach to meal prep education. If you're tired of partnerships that sound impressive but never quite work out, let's talk.
What Collaboration Actually Looks Like
We're not hunting for logos to stick on marketing materials. What we need are partners who can commit to showing up — suppliers who deliver quality ingredients on schedule, equipment brands willing to demo their tools during our workshops, and community organizations that understand why meal prep matters for families juggling tight budgets.
Last year, we worked with a local produce distributor who thought partnering meant occasional discount codes. It didn't work. Then we found someone who understood our students need consistency. They show up every Wednesday with the same quality greens, explain seasonal variations, and answer questions during our sessions.
That's what we're after. Not perfect. Just reliable and genuinely interested in what happens when people learn to prep their own meals instead of relying on expensive takeout or processed options.
- Access to our student community for product feedback and real-world testing
- Featured demonstrations during monthly meal prep workshops starting September 2025
- Honest feedback on what works and what doesn't from actual home cooks
- Joint content creation for our learning materials when it makes sense
Why Some Partnerships Work
We've learned the hard way which collaborations end up being worth everyone's time. Here's what tends to make the difference between partnerships that fizzle out and ones that actually strengthen what we both do.
Direct Student Access
Your products get used by real people who cook at home under typical kitchen constraints. Not influencers with professional setups. Just regular folks figuring out meal prep between work and family obligations.
Honest Testing Ground
We'll tell you what works and what frustrates our students. Sometimes that's uncomfortable. But you'll know whether your containers actually seal properly after three microwaves or if your "quick prep" gadget saves time or just creates extra cleanup.
Community Connection
Our students remember the brands that show up and help. Not just through discounts, but by explaining proper knife technique or demonstrating why one cutting board material handles better than another. That credibility sticks.
Meet Your Partnership Contact
Community Partnerships LeadDamien Thorvaldsen handles our partnership discussions, which mostly means he figures out whether what you're proposing will actually help our students or just look good in a press release.
He spent eight years managing supplier relationships for restaurant groups before joining us in early 2024. Which means he's seen enough "strategic partnerships" fall apart to spot the warning signs pretty quickly.
What he cares about: Does your timeline match ours? Can you commit to consistent quality? Will you stick around when the initial excitement wears off? And honestly, do you understand that meal prep education isn't glamorous — it's teaching people to dice onions efficiently and plan proteins for the week.
"Best partnerships happen when both sides are clear about what they need and what they can't compromise on. Everything else is just nice-to-have details we can figure out as we go."
