VANCOUVER, B.C. — September 4, 2025 — The countdown was over. We celebrated. We prepared. And now—it’s showtime!🐉 Ahead of our Dragons’ Den debut, the Triple X.O.G. team had the incredible opportunity to connect with the team of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? at their Vancouver headquarters, founded by Brian Scudamore, Dragon on Dragons' Den. The visit was filled with energy, excitement, and entrepreneurial spirit as we joined them to celebrate the new season of Dragons’ Den!
🚀 An Inspiring Kickoff with Industry Icons
Hosted by the amazing 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team, the Dragons’ Den season kickoff party was an unforgettable gathering of innovators, founders, and dreamers — all united by a shared passion for building bold ideas into reality.
“It was an honour to meet Brian and the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team — true leaders who embody vision, persistence, and community,” said Felix Chen, Co-Founder & CEO of Triple X.O.G. “Their story continues to inspire entrepreneurs everywhere, and we’re proud to be part of that same spirit.”
🥂 The Energy Before the Spotlight
The event couldn’t have come at a better time — just hours before Triple X.O.G.’s big moment on CBC’s Dragons’ Den (Season 20, Episode 2).
The team joined fellow founders, supporters, and friends to celebrate a milestone that’s been months in the making.
“It felt like the calm before the storm — a reminder that entrepreneurship is about the journey, not just the spotlight,” shared Rudy Pham, Co-Founder & COO.
💚 Thank You, Brian & Team
A heartfelt thank-you to Brian Scudamore and the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? family for hosting us, sharing their entrepreneurial wisdom, and cheering us on as we stepped into the Den. The connections made that day reminded us that success is built on community — not competition.
Here’s to building, dreaming, and celebrating the journey — together. 💙🥂
