To make plant-based eating a wow experience - that's the mission of Crafty Counter. In part 1 of this Feature, we a deep dive interview with Hema Reddy, Founder and CEO of Crafty Counter, a consumer product goods startup.
Hema had a love for learning and growing. So when she worked at IBM for 14 years, she worked in various roles such as software development and business development. Seemingly, everything was perfect but what she yearned for was purpose in her life. This questioning led her to her mission: to bring out balanced food to families across America.
In the beginning, she had three concepts for her brand. She thought of either starting a popcorn-based company, a beverage brand, or a frozen food company. Her advice for new entrepreneurs is to start with an end in mind.
In this episode, Hema talks about:
* Gratefulness
* Overview of the brand
* Where she was before the brand
* Why Crafty Counter
* Advice for others
* Evolution of first products
Join Ramon Vela and Hema Reddy as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.
