When did you launch the business?
2020
What led you to where you are today?
It all started in 2017... My life was much different than it is now. I had health issues that made me change my lifestyle, my diet, my philosophy and subsequently – my career path. For me, this meant to completely transform my diet and become a vegan advocate. Plant nutrition has revealed to me a new horizon for tastes, combinations, products and most importantly - health in the first place! This new perspective on life brought the desire to spread the message and as a business-oriented person, I decided to combine my mission with a startup company.
