When To Sell Your Company
Gregory Sewitz grew up in sunny Los Angeles, before relocating to the East Coast, and launching two companies out of New York. A place where he sees the best opportunities for startups and CPG in general.
His mother was a therapist. Which may have had some influence on his choice to study English and neuroscience in college. Initially, he thought he would just continue in academia. At least until he met his roommate and co-founder.
His co-founder was studying economics, though always interested in the entrepreneurial, and very involved in local startup groups. His passion for fitness led him to explore creating his own protein bar. He began going out to sell at gyms and farmers’ markets.
Attending a science conference, Gregory took in a panel about edible insects. Which was a part of the United Nations research initiative. It was a lightbulb moment.
Together they decided to launch Exo. A protein bar recipe using crickets. A source of protein that required far fewer resources to raise and farm than chickens, pigs, or cows.
