Slab Sharks: eBay Canada's 2023 Entrepreneur of the Year

Описание: Slab Sharks is the product of a group of friends with a shared passion for sports cards and collectibles. A lawyer by training, co-founder Karn Rai had spent years convincing his friends to come with him to trading card shows and expos across Canada and the US, building relationships and learning more about the industry.

In 2022, after growing a presence on eBay, the group of five: Harman Gill, Raja Dhillon, Gagan Rana, Nav Chahal and Karn Rai decided to jump headlong into the business, pooling together $3000 to start sports card and trading card consigner Slab Sharks.

Laser-focused on customer service and trust, Slab Sharks grew to support over 500 unique consignors across North America. In their first year, they quickly broke seven figures in eBay sales, and have already more than doubled their gross sales in 2023. A staple at tradeshows and expos across Canada and the US, earlier this year they also opened their first office location in Mississauga, ON.

With a focus on growth, trust, and customer service, Karn and the Slab Sharks team are our 2023 Entrepreneurs of the Year.
