The Globe and Mail - Dashthis
22 Report on business Canada's top Growing Companies

For a fourth time, DashThis, a bootstrapped Quebec-based digital marketing company, has positioned itself among Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies, this time by The Globe and Mail. Led by a team of 37 passionate employees, DashThis has maintained its focus on building a strong company culture while generating a 71% revenue growth in the past three years, placing number 386 on the list. 

"Being one of the fastest growing companies in Canada for the fourth time is a tremendous milestone. However, achieving this after 10+ years of existence and being still bootstrapped is what makes us even prouder," says Antoine Paré, CEO of DashThis.

Focusing on DashThis culture

In addition, we added various internal communications channels, reviewed our values, defined our long-term objectives, and developed a highly transparent management approach.

Imversed XR New York

Augmented and virtual reality technology will start drastically altering daily lives, and it's not as far away as one may think. The first ever XR-Land metaverse, Imversed, is looking ahead of the curve and intends to combine AR/VR technology with geo-attached lands to create a fully immersive reality that merges the virtual worlds with physical worlds. Imversed also announced that their XR land concept visual display preview would be launched in October.

AR/VR is the Future

Similar to the beginning of the smartphone era, it is a telling sign when large technology companies start producing AR/VR headsets. They recognize the enormous market potential. Over the next three years, market research firms predict that the VR and AR industry will grow by USD 162.71 billion, or a CAGR of 46%.

One of the earliest adopters of VR/AR technology was HTC. Gamers love their VR headgear VIVE PRO. Additionally, HTC showed a strong desire to integrate AR and VR into daily life by announcing Viverse in March. Viverse uses virtual and augmented reality, high-speed connectivity, AI, and blockchain technologies to enable seamless experiences that can be accessed on any device, anywhere.

In July, Google announced they started small-scale public testing for their AR glasses prototypes. The prototypes include in-lens displays, microphones, and cameras, but with strict limitations on what they can do to protect users' privacy. While Google insists they are "taking it slow," their AR glasses are expected to be available as soon as next year.

According to a recent report from Bloomberg, Apple has applied for three new trademarks, "Reality One," "Reality Pro," and "Reality Processor." Speculations are that Apple's headset has 12 cameras to track hand and eye movements, and it will also use its M1 chips to power the device. The consensus is that Apple is close to introducing its AR/VR headset, with the announcement expected by January 2023.

AR/VR Trends and Possibilities

AR/VR technology is being deployed in various markets, including gaming, business, healthcare, and even the military. The potential market will undoubtedly shift and accelerate now that technology companies are gearing up to enter it.

Metaverse projects are exhibiting this striking pattern as well. To create a new and immersive environment that people crave, new metaverse projects focus more on AR and VR technology that merges with real-world applications.

Imversed

Imversed is precisely that. The first ever XR-Land metaverse, Imversed aims to create a completely immersive world by fusing AR/VR technologies with geo-attached lands. Users can easily buy, sell, or monetize their property in the Imversed.World.

Plus, anyone using an AR/VR headset can view all the user-generated content posted on a property. This will provide businesses and creators with virtually endless possibilities. Users can anticipate a unique experience where they can travel seamlessly between the digital and physical worlds. They will be able to interact with their favorite celebrities, avatars, or gaming characters while wandering through a virtual "New York City."

Pooch Paper Founder, Tracy Rosensteel
Founder, Tracy Rosensteel and her inspiration named, 'Indiana Jones'

Pooch Paper, a paper alternative to plastic dog waste bags, has launched a crowdfunding capital raise on the Wefunder platform, inviting investors nationwide to participate in mitigating microplastic pollution arising from single-use plastic dog waste bags. 

Climate change, plastic pollution and global warming are concerns which do not require an introduction. Decades of research suggest single-use plastics are among the most dangerous contributors to adverse changes in our environment. Hundreds of millions of microplastic particles enter the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we consume due to additives injected into our "eco-friendly" plastics. Additive injections hasten the breakdown of these plastic bags to meet regulatory requirements, and these "broken down" plastic bags are at the forefront of microplastic pollution.

Studies, such as Consumer Report's How to Eat Less Plastic published in April 2020, indicate that we ingest a credit card-sized amount of plastic each week due to this pollution. Pooch Paper's founder, Tracy Rosensteel, states, "We're here to fix that."

Made in the USA, Pooch Paper is a PFAS-free, non-chlorine bleached paper alternative to single-use plastic dog waste bags (PFAS are highly toxic fluorinated chemicals). In addition to being PFAS-free, Pooch Paper sheets are 100% biodegradable, 100% compostable and are manufactured using renewable energy.

Tracy continues, "Our company was built on the belief that we can help to save our planet 'one pup at a time.' Our aim is to alleviate pollution created by single-use plastics, particularly created by the over 500 million dog waste bags discarded in landfills across the US each year." Since its inception in 2020, Pooch Paper has grown through online sales and the Pooch Paper affiliate program. It is sold in over 2,000 retail locations across the US and in its retail distribution in Canada, Dubai, South Africa and Japan. 

In 2021, Tracy recognized how timely it was to provide a solution addressing the single-use plastic bag legislation sweeping the nation. Tracy's company encourages municipalities to replace single-use plastic bags in dog parks with Pooch Paper and its outdoor dispensers, thus enabling compliance with single-use plastic bag legislation and related sustainability efforts.
