How TiNDLE Scaled Plant-Based Chicken to 1,500 Restaurants in 9 countries in only 2 years! with Andre Menezes, CEO and Co-Founder, Next Gen Foods E154

It's so simple it's brilliant! Ask 100 food or beverage entrepreneurs how or why they started their businesses. For some, they knew they had a great product and they expanded from the family kitchen outward. Some find whitespaces - niche areas that are underserved.  Others start with a mission and are purpose-driven first. Andre and his co-founder started with a global mission and built a business model to solve that need. It enabled them to raise over $100 million and expand to 9 countries.
