Mat Franken is the Founder and CEO of Aunt Fannie's, a line of healthy cleaning household products. Like many in the health and natural space, Mat did not set out to become an entrepreneur: his company is the direct result of a family medical challenge. Wanting to share what he discovered, he launched the first Aunt Fannie's product in 2015. And so began the company’s mission to prioritize wellness from the outside by creating people-friendly, pet-friendly, and non-toxic products for all. Outside of Aunt Fannie’s, Mat is a Contributor at Entrepreneur Media, Advisor at adVenturesAcademy, and a Mentor with Built Oregon. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:  Mat Franken shares the story behind founding Aunt Fannie's  How Mat's background in finance helped him in the new business How Mat began making his products at home, brought in professionals to create great formulations, and started selling in Whole Foods Selling directly to consumers and how Mat transitioned to selling in conventional stores How Aunt Fannie’s has been impacted by COVID-19 How Mat bootstrapped Aunt Fannie’s and what he learned from the experience The non-cleaning products sold by Aunt Fannie’s and the first employees Mat hired Mat talks about his future plans for Aunt Fannie’s, his thoughts on how COVID-19 has changed our buying habits, and how he wants to scale the business The biggest challenges Mat faced growing his business and how he handled them Where to learn more about Aunt Fannie’s and healthy cleaning In this episode… A little-known fact: most household cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that are harmful to our health. Since the FDA doesn’t regulate this industry, many companies fail to list all the ingredients they use to formulate their cleaning products. The result? Household cleaning products with ingredients that are harmful to humans, pets, and the environment. When Mat Franken's child developed health challenges, he discovered that the cleaning products used in his home were causing the problems. He set out to find a solution and ended up crafting his own product—with results. From his own success, he decided to start a business and provide the same solution to other people. Mat Franken, the Founder and CEO of Aunt Fannie's, is this week's guest on the NexxtLevel Podcast. Today, he talks to Steve Cleere about his journey to find the right cleaning products for his family and how that led to his business, Aunt Fannie's. Mat also shares how his background in finance helped him bootstrap the business and his strategies for handling the challenges caused by the pandemic while continuing to grow the company.

Rick cofounded PIE (the Portland Incubator Experiment), a startup accelerator formed in partnership with global creative agency Wieden+Kennedy.

In this edition of Making Oregon, our guest is Jala Smith-Huys, founder of Seek & Swoon, a new Portland company selling soft and cozy eco throws designed in Portland and made in the USA, and inspired by Jala’s love of travel. It’s the latest chapter of an entrepreneurial journey that was years in the making, and taking its inspiration from the vibrant Portland maker community. In her role as the Creative Director, Jala was part of the team that opened the first New Seasons market back in 2000, and that led to her later work as a freelance Social Media and Digital Strategist, advising a “who’s who” of local and national consumer product brands, including well-known Oregon brands like Tillamook Cheese and Dave’s Killer Bread. In 2016, her experiences building strong and sustainable brands eventually merged with a deep passion for travel and a long-held desire to take the entrepreneurial leap, and Seek & Swoon was born. We’ll talk about Jala’s journey, and find out why she chose throws as her entrepreneurial and maker entryway. Along the way we’ll touch on lessons learned and the insights gained from essentially launching a new product from scratch, and the benefit of a supportive creative community.

In this edition of Making Oregon, we got out of the studio for a “Founder Coffee Talk” – lively conversation with Oregon founders at a local coffee house. For this chat, Built Oregon co-founder Terry St. Marie ventured to Groundwork Coffee Shop in SE Portland, for a fine almond milk latte and an iced mocha with our guest Britt Howard, co-founder of Portland Garment Factory, serving companies in the fashion design and product creation industries. The business started in 2008, and now has 11 employees at a 5,000 square foot facility on SE 79th and Stark Portland Garment Factory helps creators from the beginning development of a product’s concept to seeing it through to completion. Serving clients both large - such as Nike and Levis – and small, they offer everything from pattern drafting and sample construction, to the branding of the final product. Britt and her partner started the business because they saw a pressing need in Portland for these kind of services – until they came along, fashion makers had to seek help elsewhere, slowing down the creative flow. They’ve forged a niche in the Oregon creative ecosystem and economy, and our conversation reveals the unique and creative path that Britt took to get there, as well as her perspectives on sustainability and “zero waste”, the Portland fashion scene, and “pursuing beauty from odd angles” when designing clothes. And, she reveals her (very simple) secret to success that may surprise you.

On this edition of Making Oregon, our guest is Juan Barazza, a Portland champion for entrepreneurial development, as the Program Manager at Portland State University Center for Entrepreneurship, the President of the local chapter of ALPFA (the Association of Latino Professionals for America), and as the founder and CEO of startup VDO interpreters, a A SaaS platform that provides Language Access Compliance for the Healthcare Industry. He’s also going to be a speaker at the upcoming “GoGreen” conference in Portland on October 5th (Built Oregon is a sponsor). We’ll talk about Juan’s personal journey, his transition to startup founder after a corporate career in multiple industries, and his budding local involvement in mentorship, startup development, and sustainability through Startup Weekend Latino, the PSU Center for Entrepreneurship, and the Cleantech challenge Lastly, we’ll have a great discussion about his leadership in helping Oregon and Portland keep the conversation going regarding diversity, equity and inclusion in the entrepreneurial and investment arenas.
