In the heart of Tonia Jahshan's mind, a seed was planted 17 years ago – a vision to share the simplicity and warmth of loose-leaf tea with all those around her. Beyond the leaves, she fostered an ecosystem of empowerment, aiding numerous entrepreneurs through her social selling venture, Sipology. The company's evolution has been remarkable, and it is now a prominent name in North America's wellness landscape, offering everything from matcha to essential vitamins.
In 2012, destiny found its tune as Tonia and Hatem entered the Dragons' Den, aligning perfectly with the wise guidance of Jim Treliving and David Chilton. Their pitch echoed like a crescendo, hailed as one of the Den's finest. The journey didn't halt there; Tonia and her team returned four more times, becoming a fixture on the show for both commercials and updates.
Presently, Sipology is a powerhouse with annual sales soaring into the millions and many Sipologists spanning North America dedicated to purveying health-conscious, sustainable, and officially approved products. The accolades poured in as consistently as a well-brewed cup of tea – from the PROFIT 500 Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies list to Tonia's recognition as Canada's premier Female Entrepreneur by W100. Her dedication materialized in awards like the Ernst and Young Entrepreneurial Winning Women award and a special citation for cultivating an extraordinary community. Notably, she earned her spot as one of Forbes' "Women to Watch," solidifying her legacy in the entrepreneurial landscape.
Tonia is a champion for mental health and talks openly about the struggles she encountered while building her company, making her a sought-after speaker.
