Stanford Ignite
2014

Stanford Ignite provided me theoretical and practical tools that I use everyday to make decisions about the company’s strategy and vision. As the co-founder of a fast growing start-up developing healthy, easy to prepare and nutritious food, the experience of learning something in a classroom and immediately applying it to my business was incredibly valuable.
