Welcome, CCIB Members

Free product development & business consultations for Indigenous entrepreneurs.

Hi, I'm Cydney Mar

I'm a proud Nlaka'pamux woman, an award-winning designer, and a Product Development & Business Strategist with 45+ years and over $300M in global retail, TV, and DTC sales (QVC, Cirque du Soleil, Holt Renfrew). I'm also the founder of Cydney Mar Wellness. Supporting Indigenous founders is close to my heart, and giving back through TIB is something I'm genuinely glad to do.

How I can help — free for CCIB members

• A complimentary Concept-to-Reality Strategy Session (60 min)
• My "From Idea to Shelf" guide — yours to download

And, if you're ready to go further

For founders ready for deeper support (often grant-eligible):

• Business plans & cost structures — what strong grant and funding applications need
• Tech packs, sourcing, and hands-on product development
• Business diagnostics & strategy

The Concept-to-Reality Pathway

Come and chat with me if you're…

• Sitting on an idea — product, program, or business — and unsure how to make it real
• Getting ready to apply for a grant and needing a real business plan
• Stuck on a product — tech pack, sample, factory, or pricing
• Wanting a diagnostic on where your business is leaking opportunity
• Just wanting an honest, experienced second brain 

Start with a free Strategy Call

The best first step is a conversation. We'll find what's holding you back and map clear next steps — no cost, no pressure.
