Any person with a food allergy knows what it feels like to miss out on sweets. But when starting a business to fill that void, how do you get investors to believe in your mission? And how do you gain the trust of your intended audience?
This week’s guest is Denise Woodard, founder of Partake, an allergen-free sweets company that Denise started because of her daughter’s many food allergies. In this episode, Denise discusses how her background helped her start her company, how she got investors to back her passion, and so much more. She also shares some amazing tidbits of information for all the Entreprenistas listening.
“I wanted to create an inclusive brand that invited people with and without food allergies to enjoy. And I didn't feel like I was seeing that reflected. And so the name Partake came from this idea of me wanting people with and without dietary restrictions to be able to enjoy.” - Denise Woodard
