Mitch Gegwetch (The company owner) is an Urban Indigenous Entrepreneur and non-profit leader. Ojibwe/Anishinaabe and a registered member of Sagamok First Nation. A community located in Northern Ontario Canada.

Mitch grew up in Toronto Ontario, with strong family roots in his community of Sagamok, returning each year to spend time with family, friends and attend local events such as the annual Sagamok powwow.

All native people are born unique; we come in different shapes, sizes and skin tones. Mitch understands the privilege that comes with being a fair/light skinned native (or as some call "white passing") with a mixed lineage. Mitch's grandparents are survivors of the resident school era, if not for their resilience, Mitch would not be here today. Through this realization, Mitch vowed to use this privilege to aid his community and add an Indigenous perspective where it may not have been introduced before. After schooling and a budding tech career, In Late 2016, Mitch lead an Initiative to bring his knowledge of technology and entrepreneurship opportunities to his home community. The pilot programs were successful and this enabled him to travel across Canada working in several communities, delivering entrepreneurship, coding and robotics programs to Indigenous youth.

Mitch continued this work for a few years until the pandemic hit in 2020, this put a hold on his ability to travel and work directly in communities. Being that it was a non-profit initiative, plans fell through, out of pocket funds eventually dried up and the project was put on hold and eventually dissolved. But not without making an impact on the lives of over 500 Indigenous youth across Canada! and inspiring other non-profit initiatives to continue this important work; to close the gap on the digital divide.

Today, Mitch owns and operates Resist Clothing Company, while continuing his philanthropy in the community wherever he can. Lending his time, finances and expertise to projects and initiatives that uplift Indigenous young people.
