Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The vendor and Le Soleil both describe Timininous as founded and run by Marie-Renée Grondin in Quebec City, the site footer names Timininous INC, and Les Produits du Québec lists it as a manufacturer at 1965 Avenue d'Assise. Corporations Canada returned zero results, so it is likely a Quebec corporation, and the Registraire des entreprises du Québec could not be reached from this session; the outcome of the May 2023 Dans l'œil du dragon pitch was not disclosed, and evol financing is described without saying whether it was a loan or equity.

The split is an estimate that puts the raw fibre in OTHER, the Canadian knitting and finishing in CA, and a US share for the Shopify storefront.
