COVID-19 has the potential of permanently closing 30% of small businesses.  One business where that happened is Sudden Coffee.This powerful and vulnerable interview with Josh Zloof, founder of Sudden Coffee will shed light on the challenges that many small businesses face.Per Josh:Unfortunately, the COVID outbreak hit us pretty bad and we're permanently closing Sudden :-/ I'm in the midst of it as we speak.For a little more context - we actually had our best revenue months on record in Jan & Feb, we were getting strong traction/ product market fit. However, we needed additional funding and feedback from the VC world was that they did not want to fund food manufacturing because it was a physical goods business. Amidst all of this of course, the outbreak happened.I'm planning on writing a retrospective on it once the dust settles - its a strange case to have 'product market fit' but are forced to shut down because its difficult to capitalize.  Framework for Determining What Career Opportunities to Pursue - Josh tried out 10+ different business ideas over 1.5 years. It wasn't until he identified his values (Purpose, Community, Growth, and Excitement) and matched them to his ideas that he shut down all of the companies that didn't align and launched Sudden Coffee.https://www.suddencoffee.com/pages/products

Josh Zloof is the co-founder and CEO of Sudden Coffee, the creators of the first specialty instant coffee. Sudden Coffee works with 30 coffee roasters worldwide, companies like Equator Coffee, Intelligentsia Coffee and Ritual Coffee. Josh got his start as an operations consultant at McKinsey and Company and later was a product manager at Groupon, building a point of sale for restaurants. After developing a passion for hospitality and good food and drink by throwing events, Josh founded Sudden Coffee to use his skills in operations to share hospitality driven experiences with more people.

Josh Zloof, Co-Founder & CEO of Sudden Coffee, is passionate about more than just serving up a great cup of coffee. After launching several businesses that ended in some success and even more failures, Josh knew he needed to find his “why.” This led to him founding Sudden Coffee on the idea of “making one billion people happy.” Today, Sudden has served over 100,000 cups of their single-origin, specialty grade, instant coffee (delivered right to your door). With over $3.3M raised from investors, Josh and Sudden Coffee have been featured in the New York Times, Food & Wine, and GQ. Josh chalks a lot of his success up to manifestation. Simply stating your goals, telling people about them, and envisioning the future you want is enough to make them a reality - Josh calls these “Black Swan Events,” and he’s experienced many of them. At Burning Man, every exchange of goods or services is an opportunity to connect. What if we could break down those same barriers in “real life” with your server, bank teller or barista? Josh can share how this philosophy is inspiring the way Sudden Coffee aims to enhance human interactions in the simplest of ways. For Josh, it started with a $1,200 investment in a life coach, a decision many scoffed at. Now, with a disciplined morning routine, regular meditation practice, therapy sessions, and working on his dream company, Josh can share a vision of an individualized approach to self-care.

Instant coffee has a bad reputation, and you may think it's well earned. But that means there's room for disruption, and Josh Zloof's company, Sudden Coffee, has patented a process for capturing all the flavor of the world's best coffee and packaging it in a convenient test tube. In this episode of Hack the Process, Josh will tell us what drew him away from a stable career to lead a startup, how he pivoted from selling consumer subscription plans to partnering with artisanal coffee roasters, and what he's learned from avoiding traditional business books in favor of reading fiction.

What would you do if you started a company and it failed? What if you started multiple companies and they failed? Most people would stop. So many of us take those experiences personally and create a narrative about what it says about our abilities.  That's what I love about Josh's story! After going through some successes and even more failures, Josh Zloof didn't give up on his entrepreneurial dreams. Instead, he realized that he simply needed to get intentional about his values, acquire the skills he lacked, and create a well-balanced support system. Josh made a conscious decision that his next company would make one billion people happy. And that is exactly what he is on the road to accomplish. Josh is the co-founder and CEO of Sudden Coffee, a company focused on producing single origin, specialty grade, instant coffee (delivered right to your door). To date, Sudden Coffee has raised over $3.3 million dollars and served over 100,000 happy customers. In addition to making people happy, Sudden Coffee has been featured in The New York Times, Food & Wine, and GQ. Josh's journey shows that you don't have to give up at the first, or second, or even the 5th sign of failure. What you need most in those moments is to take a step back, reassess, and try again. Here is what we chat about in this episode: Why not succeeding at first isn't a reflection on who you are as a person. The importance of being clear on your values. Why you should create a support system that will help you succeed. And so much more!

This idea of having these really high quality single origin coffees is such a new thing that I wouldn't expect most people to know about it. That's a big part of our mission is to educate more people about it.” (16:45)“How do you create these random occurrences where you match up with this specific person who happens to know the thing that you need? It's not through just hammering your head against a wall.

In this week’s episode of Taste Radio Insider, we’re joined by Josh Zloof, the co-founder and CEO of Sudden Coffee, an innovative brand of specialty instant coffee. Founded in 2015, Sudden is attempting to revolutionize the $40 billion market for instant coffee by emphasizing its proprietary production process and by focusing on “scalable hospitality.” As part of our conversation, Zloof spoke about Sudden’s mission of using an instant product to democratize access to speciality coffee and why it was designed to be “Grandma proof.” He also explained how the company has zeroed in on Gen X as its key consumer demographic, discussed the challenges of managing both manufacturing -- Sudden operates its own production facility -- and marketing as a small company, and why he believes that the product attributes of Sudden are more important that the brand itself. Show notes: 1:42: A Few Sips of “Mud Water,” Canned Wine and Candy Milk — You know it’s a special episode of Taste Radio Insider when the host gulp Snickers-flavored chocolate milk and wash it down with chai and wine. There’s also discussion about people stealing John Craven’s Instagram photos, the emergence of the canned wine segment, how Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, Calif. is the epicenter of food and beverage innovation, and why it’s a no-brainer for entrepreneurs seeking investment to attend BevNET Live and/or NOSH Live. 13:40: Interview: Josh Zloof, Co-Founder/CEO, Sudden Coffee -- Zloof was visiting from San Francisco to attend the 2019 Specialty Coffee Expo and stopped by BevNET HQ to record an interview with Taste Radio editor/producer Ray Latif.  Zloof spoke about the origins of the company and how prior jobs in supply chain logistics and hospitality fueled his interest in coffee. He also discussed how speciality coffee roasters including Intelligentsia have supported its development and reshaped its business model, how Sudden is attempting to create experiential moments for its customers, and why the long-term vision is about “branding the process.” Brands in this episode: Snickers, Twix, MUD/WTR, Cha Cha Matcha, Four Sigmatic, Besa Mi Vino, Lila Wines, Oskar Blues, Sudden Coffee, Taster’s Choice, Folgers, Intelligentsia,  Starbucks, Equator Coffee, Ritual Coffee, Spark Coffee, Keurig, Dunkin’

Customer research is the core of every good marketing strategy. Finding product-market fit is nearly impossible if you don't talk to a ton of people about your product, test it out, and find the audience who truly loves it. This is exactly the method that helped Josh Zloof find the right customers for Sudden Coffee. He faced what seemed like an insurmountable challenge -- how do you change the bad reputation of instant coffee? To most people, it's seen as cheap, fast, and pretty tasteless. In comparison, Sudden Coffee offers coffee snobs everywhere a fast and delicious cup that you can buy today on Amazon or at Whole Foods. But it wasn't an easy path to get there! After working at Groupon, Josh was determined to start a company in the food space, but couldn't settle on the right idea. It took him tons of experimentation, a lot of customer research, and a complete re-brand before Sudden found its identity and core market.

EP 55: Brewing Up a Great Marketing Strategy with Sudden Coffee In episode 55 of the Lion’s Share Marketing Podcast, Tyler sits down with Josh Zloof, the CEO and Co-Founder of Sudden Coffee, to discuss building a startup. The pair cover lessons marketers can use to understand their customers, marketing efficiently, and turning initial growth into long-term success. Before the interview, Tyler sits down with another one of Fidelitas’ PR interns, Maria, to discuss “Peelgate”, Samsung’s latest controversy around their new foldable smartphones. Tyler and Maria talk about the costs in quality control when racing to be first to market, discussing Samsung’s pitfalls, differences their competitors take in product development, and applicable PR lessons for our listeners at home.  Tyler also speaks with Josh about co-founding Sudden Coffee, an innovative company providing high-quality specialty coffee in a convenient instant form. Josh opens up about Sudden Coffee’s rebranding, including re-identifying their target customer and choosing the right brand-development partner. Tyler and Josh later dive into the importance of balancing data and storytelling when creating effective marketing campaigns. Finally, Josh gives his key takeaway: to look outside your company for solutions and not focus solely on engineering solutions in-house. He emphasizes the value, especially with startups, in looking outward to source ideas and information for new and creative solutions.

Joshua Zloof is the CEO of Sudden Coffee, a premium instant coffee brand. He has 10 years of combined experience in Mobile App Product Management, Lean Operations, Supply Chain, and Logistics.   I brought Joshua onto In The Trenches to discuss his startup journey and what it was really like for him to develop his idea and actually launch it. To many, Joshua’s idea of founding a premium instant coffee company might sound bizarre, because we equate “instant coffee” with “cheap”. However, during today’s episode you will learn that the two are not mutually exclusive. I think what Joshua has done to build his business with various marketing techniques and experiments is really quite fascinating, and so my biggest takeaway is just that... It’s okay to do something different and to go against what everyone else is doing because it might just pay off - in real life and online.   In this broadcast, Joshua and I talk about:   How Joshua founded his coffee brand and his journey as an entrepreneur What is the difference between Sudden Coffee versus other instant coffee brands that are currently on the market Who does Sudden Coffee target with their brand messaging and marketing How to increase sales during the beginning stages of your business How to turn your business plan into a subscription-based business plan What are some things Joshua thought was working but failed in his business When is using influencers in your marketing strategy a good idea What are a few strategies to use for Facebook marketing How to prioritize spending money during the startup phase What are the critical roles to begin hiring in order to gain traction The pros and cons of a venture-backed startup What is the plan for the future and expansion of a brand How to start and develop your idea for a product or business (what’s the most important factor that contributes to a successful launch of a product) Is there more space for potential growth online   How to Connect with Joshua:   Sudden Coffee Linkedin   Get the Latest Broadcasts of In The Trenches   Subscribe to In The Trenches on iTunes   How You Can Support In The Trenches   Did you enjoy today's broadcast of In The Trenches?

August Vega is a “go big or go home” kind of entrepreneur. The founder and CEO of MALK, a super-premium brand of organic nut milks, Vega cut her teeth in the beverage business selling her wares at farmers markets in Houston. From the outset, Vega had lofty ambitions: she wanted to develop MALK into a billion-dollar brand. “I believe that we are in control of our own destiny, and why shoot for a low bar?” she said in an interview included in this episode. “It is a high bar… but we’re seeing a pretty big evolution in the plant-based space, not just from a dairy perspective, but in meats -- it’s everywhere. And I think there’s potential.” Since launching the brand in 2014, Vega has maintained that focus and made strides toward her goal. MALK is sold nationally at Whole Foods and carried at a variety of mainstream grocers and mass retailers, including HEB and Target. In an interview included in this episode, Vega spoke about the origins of MALK and why she envisioned it as a billion-dollar brand from the outset. She also explained why data has been critical to the company’s development and the variety of ways it sources sales information and consumer feedback. Vega also discussed how MALK considers innovation and investment and talked about how she navigated the company through a particularly challenging period. Show notes: 1:09: Steeped in Specialty Coffee -- The hosts kicked off the episode with a discussion about innovative and interesting coffee brands featured at the recently held Specialty Coffee Association Expo. Among notable brands viewed at the annual trade show, hosted in Boston from April 11-14, were Steeped, a maker of bagged coffee grounds, and Elemental Beverage Co., a manufacturer of commercial appliances that chill fresh-brewed coffee in 60 seconds. The hosts also chatted about the latest issue of BevNET Magazine, which includes feature articles on the premium water category, powder beverages and craft beer as well as a comprehensive listing of functional beverages marketed in the U.S. 14:59: Interview: August Vega, Founder/CEO, MALK -- Recorded at Natural Products Expo West 2019, Vega spoke about the coincidental ties between MALK and a fictional brand featured in “The Simpsons” and how dairy allergies in her family and dissatisfaction with nut milk brands led her to create MALK. She also explained why MALK doesn’t use the word “milk” on packaging or marketing, why data drives much of its business and innovation strategy and why Boulder Food Group is the right investment partner for the company. Later, she discussed the controversy surrounding MALK’s use of high pressure processing as a safety step and how she addressed concerns about the products, and what she views at the near future for the brand. Brands in this episode: MALK, Steeped Coffee, Sudden Coffee, Blume, Roasterie, Atomic Coffee Roasters, Izzy CBD, Elemental Beverage Co., Essentia, Core, C4

This is the first episode from “The Evolution of Innovation: How New Ideas will Shape Specialty Coffee's Future”, a session at Re:co Symposium this year. This session offered a glimpse of new ideas in coffee from some leading thinkers in specialty coffee and a discussion of how they are likely to shape the future of our industry. This episode features a discussion with Ever Meister, Managing Editor at Cafe Imports; Arno Holschuh, Chief Operating Officer of Bellwether Coffee Company; Umeko Motoyoshi, VP of Product at Sudden Coffee; and Jay Ruskey, Co-Founder and CEO of Frinj Coffee. Led by Ever Meister, the panel took the stage at Re:co this past April to explore the relationship between specialty coffee's drive for constant innovation and its apparent reverence for tradition. What could innovation and irreverence do for specialty? This talk from Re:co Seattle is supported by Toddy. For over 50 years, Toddy brand cold brew systems have delighted baristas, food critics, and regular folks alike. By extracting all the natural and delicious flavors of coffee and tea, Toddy Cold Brew Systems turn your favorite coffee beans and tea leaves into fresh cold brew concentrates, that are ready to serve and enjoy.

Josh Zloof, Co-Founder & CEO of Sudden Coffee is passionate about more than just serving up a great cup of coffee. After launching several businesses that ended in some success and even more failures, Josh knew he needed to find his “why.” This led to him founding Sudden Coffee on the idea of “making one billion people happy.” Today, Sudden Coffee has served over 100,000 cups of their single origin, specialty grade, instant coffee (delivered right to your door). With over $3.3M raised from investors like Y Combinator and CRV, Josh and Sudden Coffee have been featured in the New York Times, Food & Wine, and GQ. Sounds like grounds for celebration. Before becoming the second food startup ever to be included in Y Combinator, Josh spent over a decade in Lean Management, Operations and Supply Chain, namely as a consultant at McKinsey and shortly thereafter, as the product owner of a Groupon app, Breadcrumb Pro. He then went on to learn many hard lessons launching his own companies, including an on-demand shopping service, an email service, a coaching the company, and a burrito bowl delivery app. Josh and Sudden Coffee are most notably remembered for their appearance on The Pitch, a Gimlet Media podcast. When Josh isn't geeking out on tech, marketing, and operations, you can catch him at Burning Man (a seven-time veteran), building a 10 foot tall wooden dinosaur, or running a midnight smoothie bar. He's also a hardcore self-care advocate, believing a dedication to both mind and body are the secret keys to entrepreneurial success.

Our guest for this week is Joshua Zloof, co-founder and CEO of Sudden Coffee, a startup with a mission to make great coffee easier for everyone to experience. Mobile App Product Manager by trade, Joshua has over 10 years of experience in Lean Operations, Supply Chain, and Logistics. In the past experience includes working at McKinsey & Co., Apple, Walmart, and he was also the Lead Product Manager for Breadcrumb Pro by Groupon. Our topics include: The inspiration behind Sudden Coffee. How important is it for an offline business to add a personal touch to their product? Is optimizing every part of your day a good thing? How does networking actually help your business?

"The more we understand, the more rational we are and the more courageous we can be." In this conversation with Prof. Dr. Chahan Yeretzian, a Syrian born Armenian physical chemist based out Switzerland, we dive deep into where the arenas of science, academia, industry, culture, and coffee meet. From the advice he gives his students to why undergrads can't make good enough coffee, to the religion of freshness, this is a fascinating dive into a different world. The elements of quality, the translation between measurements and sensory experience, the way that coffee is a cross cultural experience; all these and more are part of Chahan's world. What will you hear if you listen in?  I'm going to try something new, and just include the notes I typed down while editing.  Please comment if these are useful, or email me if you'd rather I do your thinking for you.  Notes from a convo with Chahan: Plenty of mysteries to solve in coffee. “At the base, good coffee is a sensory experience.” Sensory profiling vs Q grading . What he likes (intensity, strong body, aroma), very taken with smells. “One element of quality is consistency.” A big field is predicting specific sensory attributes based on objective measurements. “Fresh had become a religion, but not an understanding.” The problem is that a lot of people still serve horrible coffee in the industry. Practical and hands on experience that comes from work in industry vs academia. “You go into Origin countries and you're learning cultures [based] around your product, coffee. “Coffee is a peace building product, a trust building event.” Soluble or instant coffee, Sudden Coffee. Q grading coffee. Q grader and co-worker Marco Wellinger. Q grader Gloria Pedroza. Coffee shows the connectivity of the world. A very important quality of roasting is…consistency, that you're able to reproduce what you're doing. “How does the mineral content of the water affect extraction or flavor profile? We're still scratching on the surface [of coffee].” We're looking into how CO2 affects storage, freshness, formation of crema, flavor, acidity notes; it's like taking one small molecule and trying to get a more rational understanding [of it's impact.] Creativity based in understanding. Knowledge is freedom and helps people explore new facets of coffee. “Coffee is just as much art as science.” Mold & mycotoxins in coffee? The three ways Chahan makes coffee: -high dollar semi-automatic coffee machines via coffee experts -filter (hand brewed, freshly ground) -Single serve capsule “At home I do filter coffee. I had a professional machine, but it takes too much space.” What I don't do is French press. Sometimes I do soluble coffee, sometimes I mix it with Nespresso. The research that we do is quite high level, so to do good research on coffee, you can not just rely on undergrads. [The people who make most of the coffee I drink are] highly experienced scientists and also very good in coffee preparation besides being scientists. “How do you roast to increase sweetness, or fruitiness, or a particular flavor note? We have some understanding, but it's far too little to have any control over the roasting process.” Advice to students: Looking over the borders of where we are. Traveling is vital. Moving between academia and industry and the importance of experiencing both worlds. Academia needs people who have industry experience. The path from Knowledge - Execution - Community Armenian from Aleppo. Armenians have a strong feeling of community and family, strong drive to perform, we are pushed to be the best. A lot of unconditional love from parents. The importance of being competent before you do benevolent work. If you don't have the competence then you're wasting your time being benevolent. Further interests: indoor air quality, wine, oakwood aging, 2 kids who are 21 months old. How complexity evolves in our world and how it's related to self-organization, how life appeared on the planet. Aspect of self organizing complex systems.
