The road to success is almost never a linear path, as many of our entrepreneurs at Ideas Inc can attest! No different can be said for our friend Dawson Norrish, founder of Arctic Shelf. Dawson's solution-based approach to personal fridge access at work or school is something that's never been done before and we are proud to have one of his units in our building. The University of Saskatchewan graduate launched his business two weeks before the world shut down last March, in ...his final semester as an Edwards School of Business student. Recently, Brenden Purdy from Global Saskatoon featured Dawson and his new venture. Check it out https://bit.ly/35Y9gh6
