From Solid Ground To Resilient

In this podcast episode I'm happy to welcome Denise Woodard the CEO of Partake Foods for this bonus episode of season 1 sponsored by Phillips LatteGo Machine. When Vivienne, Denise's daughter, was diagnosed with severe food allergies as an infant, she came up short on healthy snacks that were safe to eat and delicious. Frustrated by the lack of options, Denise left her corporate job and set out to make her own. And that's how Partake was born. To date Partake has raised over $6M in venture capital from the likes of CircleUp Growth Partners, Jay'z's Fund Marcy Venture Partners and even the billionaire mogul herself Rihanna! But that's just the beginning of Denise's incredible story.
