February 10th, 2026 - 11:30am - 1:00pm
Join RMA Manitoba for an engaging lunchtime “fireside chat” with Mike Fata, renowned entrepreneur, author, speaker and co-founder of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods, as he shares insights from his journey of building a startup into an international brand and ultimately completing a successful sale.
In a moderated discussion, Mike will reflect on the key stages of entrepreneurial growth—from early vision and scaling challenges to navigating risk, capital needs, and strategic decision-making. A central focus of the conversation will be how he worked with financial institutions as partners in growth, leveraging banking relationships, credit structures, and advisory support to enable expansion while managing risk.
Designed as an open and candid discussion, this session will offer practical lessons for risk management professionals, lenders, and advisors who support entrepreneurs at various stages of their business lifecycle. Attendees will gain firsthand perspective on what founders value in financial partners and how strong relationships can influence long-term success.
