Becca Millstein:Fishwife的创立源于Becca Millstein在西班牙留学期间对高品质罐装鱼的体验,以及疫情期间对便捷、健康蛋白质的需求。她敏锐地捕捉到罐装鱼市场缺乏创新品牌的机会,并通过独特的品牌视觉设计和直接面向消费者的销售模式,成功克服了供应链问题和零售渠道的限制,迅速建立了品牌知名度。她强调了品牌视觉设计和线上营销的重要性,以及在早期阶段直接面向消费者销售的策略。 Brian Rudolph:Banza的创立源于Brian Rudolph对健康饮食的需求和对市场上缺乏营养丰富无麸质意面的观察。他通过自身尝试和不断改进,最终成功开发出鹰嘴豆意面,并通过众筹和电视节目获得了早期资金和关注。在与零售商合作的过程中,他们面临着生产和规模化难题,但通过不断改进产品和生产工艺,最终克服了挑战,并建立了持续改进的企业文化。他强调了产品质量和持续改进的重要性,以及在早期阶段与零售商合作的重要性。 Caue Suplicy:Barnana的创立源于Caue Suplicy对健康饮食的坚持和对巴西本土产品在美国市场成功的观察。他从小就食用脱水香蕉,并意识到其在美国市场的潜力。通过个人资源和人脉,他成功地将脱水香蕉发展成一个品牌,并通过参加食品展会获得了早期订单,与零售商建立了合作关系。他强调了产品自身优势、品牌故事和市场机会的重要性,以及在早期阶段灵活应对市场变化的能力。
