What led you to where you are today?
We went to a zoo in Sweden with our children, and saw a donation box for tigers. Instead of just donating during the visit, we built up a sustainable business that save the natural habitats, so that our future generations will still be able to see these animals. We have received several awards on our designs, and we are also PETA business friends.
What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?
There are lots of rules and regulations to start a business, would have been much easier if there is a list that summarize startup info. Have received penalties because we missed those rules. It would be much easier when we have a vegan community to support each other.
What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with
Share information, spread latest vegan news, and even helping with sourcing, design and even production.
How can the VEGPRENEUR community help you?
Marketing and social media is the best. There are lots of marketing business who are not very into helping the environment, but driven by the green market to look green. They do not really support us in promotion, but instead we need to pay a lot of money and they show themselves as "going green".
