NakiNoku Startup Life: Recent Episodes
NakiNoku
NakiNoku’s Startup Life podcast is focused on the startup experience, specifically within the packaged food industry. We want to share our journey, and highlight the awesome people we have met along the way!
After a short hiatus we are back! Unless we ourselves or a close family or friend experiences a severe food allergy, we are most often unaware of the difficulties of living with an allergy. This also impacts small packaged food businesses in how we protect our customers with food allergies. Listen as we learn about this issue, and how Amy Andes, Ph.D is solving for this with Banzo Butter, the first garbanzo bean based nut butter alternative.
