  • I wish I had discovered Wild Idea Co. sooner in my business start-up. Finding funding, taking those first steps, navigating all the options – it can be really daunting! If you are just starting out, or want to up your game, I suggest checking out their website. I’m currently diving into the resources and reading list!

    – Brittany Webster, Consciously Curated Home

  • I was originally introduced to Wild Idea Co. through Invest Ottawa for an introductory consultation. I was very impressed with their interactions that I ended up working with them afterwards with getting my company up and running. They were very helpful, kind, approachable and paid attention to my needs and were more than accommodating with everything I needed for setting up my own online store at the start of COVID-19. When and if I am to open up a new business, I would definitely use them again and again.

    – Sarp Diker, West Wind Coffee Co.

  • We are so grateful to have met Ryan and Sarah from Wild Idea Co. When starting our business in a new country, it felt overwhelming and difficult to know where to focus our energy. From our first conversation with Ryan and Sarah we felt clearer in strategy, confident and focused on a clear direction. They helped us uncover and define parts of the business which were critical to our growth in our first year. They connected us with incredible people in our industry and are always thinking of how they can help you. Now as we wrap up year 2, we still turn to them for guidance and advice, and we won’t be stopping anytime soon! Their unwavering support was priceless for us both professionally and personally. Do yourself a favour and book a call with them ASAP!

  • I loved working with Wild Idea Co. As an artist, I found their bespoke but polished approach really helpful as we worked on expressing and presenting my worldview and creative output. It was my first time undergoing a brand review and not only did it help me better articulate what I’ve accomplished and where I am going, but it rekindled my creativity as well.
