What led you to where you are today?
I've always had a passion for food. Once I switched to a vegan diet I just didn't understand why "conventional" supplements are the only way to remain healthy. I combined my love of sweet things with the need to have natural supplements. Voila - cookies!
What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?
1) Things tend to take a lot longer than you might expect. 2) There's a lot of uncertainty in the startup world. You really need to take many decisions and it might not always be the right one, but if you don't make up your mind then the company won't move forward.
