Sean Dollinger is the founder of Vancouver-based PlantX, an online one-stop shop for all things plant-based, including meal delivery. The ultimate goal of the platform “is to educate people on the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle, eliminating the barriers to entry for everyone.”

He has been involved in the ecommerce space for over two decades, and has a growing portfolio that includes more than 15 companies.

Having been overweight growing up, Sean discovered the power of eating a plant-based diet ten years prior, which helped him lose 60 pounds of bodyweight. It was a transformation that not only completely changed his body, but his mind as well. Sean was inspired to create a platform to share what he had learned over the past decade and it developed into what is today PlantX.

Sean goes on to share how he found success as a serial entrepreneur, from why he sleeps only four hours a night, to how he scaled PlantX from $6 million to $1.5 billion in a year-and-a-half, to how he spots opportunity in times of crisis.
