Whether it was outlined on the back of a paper napkin, it was financed by your sister's mother-in-law's next-door neighbour, or it was a desperation move after you were laid off by a corporation, we want to hear about how your small or medium-sized business got its start.
Patrick Lum is the co-founder of AEON Attire. In this edition of How I Started, he explains how he and his partners raised seed money for their startup through breakdancing in Toronto.
