The Food Startups Podcast

Today we get a behind the scenes look at an alternative food business model. 2 Degrees Food is growing rapidly: they are in 2500 stores as well as United and JetBlue airways. Co-founder Lauren Walters walks us through the company philosophy and their keys to success:

  • The why/how of a 1-for-1 food business model
  • How they were able to get their product onto major US airlines
  • Why "packaging is a hard story to tell"
  • The challenge of competing with much larger companies for shelf space
