You recently launched a new product called WarmUp, where did the inspiration for the product come from?
A motorcycle accident I was involved in during the summer of 2015. This drove my passion for fitness and nutrition. I needed to consume more protein during my recovery, but I also am a coffee drinker. That’s what led me with the idea to combine both and make it simple.
How did Suffolk help you with launching your product?
Suffolk is offering a new course on crowdfunding in which they help us learn about crowdfunding and launch campaigns. They have given me the resources and knowledge to make my campaign a success and help me keep momentum going forward.
How can we support your growing business?
You can go support on Kickstarter.com as there are two days left in my campaign. You can also follow the social media for the page and help spread the word.
