059: Making Plant-Based Milk Convenient and Sustainable with Alicia Long of Nutr

  • Summary

  • Alicia Long was working at Google when she started feeling that a piece of her life was missing–entrepreneurship. While on maternity leave, she took the foundr Start and Scale course and learned that she needed to create a solution, not a product. Alicia is lactose-intolerant and found that buying nut milk can be expensive, full of preservatives, and create packaging waste.    With help from her husband, a mechanical engineer, they created a nut milk maker that is convenient, compact, versatile, and sustainable. Nutr has exploded since its launch in 2021, hitting $1 million in sales in 6 months, and signed deals with retailers Sur La Table and Anthropology.    Listen to Mollie and Alicia discuss: Why they chose to make a single-serving sustainable machine The importance of the aesthetics and convenience  How Nutr customers came up with recipe applications for the product  Why do they plant a tree for every device purchased  Reaching out to 100 influencers per week How to take advantage of "nanoinfluencers" when starting out The importance of finding a direct source manufacturer  Creating their second-generation product  Their goal to hit $10 million in sales  And much more product solution advice…       Who do you want to see next on the podcast?
