JK$2.50/min per minute(13)Launching a Food BusinessJessica Kwong • New York, NYCreated 6 years agoAs the founder of a food startup myself, I can share my first-hand experiences—both good and bad—in creating a company from scratch. I work on every aspect of my business (R&D, social media, manufacturing, package design, etc.), so I can provide valuable insight in many areas—especially if you are looking to bootstrap. Creating the foundation for a company is the most important and time-consuming process, and learning what to look out for and/or avoid early on will save you time and money in the future.Jessica Kwong New York, NY(13)
