A Lindo Story
Lindo was created as part of FOCUS Affaires, a school-based entrepreneurship and business program. After a productive and educational semester, Julien Hodge and James Beler, two of the founders, decided to continue the project. After considering the benefits of continuing the business, they reinvented Lindo with the intention of continuing to learn about entrepreneurship and giving back to their community.

Mission
Community involvement is foundational to Lindo's mission. In an effort to spread kindness in our community, Lindo is committed to donating 10% of its annual profits to The Royal, an Ottawa-based mental health care and research center. As the company expands we hope to help with a variety of events and initiatives on the local level.
