Ali Kothari is still a student at Northeastern University but that hasn’t stopped him and his co-founder, Johnny Fayad, from founding New Grounds Food. After getting tired of not having time to make breakfast or coffee in the morning before class, they had an idea to create a way to eat their coffee. Thus, their product, the CoffeeBar, was born.
In this episode Ali shares amongst other things:
His secrets to Kickstarter success
When he realized they had a strong idea
Northeastern’s IDEA Accelerator
Getting to a shelf-ready product
Mistakes made early on
How they got their product on the shelves
Why they partnered with the Chain Collaborative
How starting a company was different from what he expected
