Direct-sales business joins list of Vancouver brands going public

The Vancouver Sun interviewed Darrell Kopke, a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, for a story on a local clothing business that is venturing into the public arena.

“Vancouver has developed into a global hub for innovative apparel and accessories design,” Kopke said “Although in the last 20 years the amount of public companies has dropped, the amount of Vancouver-based apparel companies that IPO seems to contradict this.”
