Episode #88
Before you price your product, raise money, or pitch a buyer, there is one question you need to answer: what kind of business are you building? In this episode, fractional CFO and SFT Consulting co-founder Elena Minton breaks down the three paths food founders take and why your answer shapes everything from your cost structure to who you let in the door.
Episode #86
Kelsey Bross built Kel's Kitchen Table with a granola recipe, a farmers market tent, and a willingness to listen. A year and a half of weekends spent talking directly to customers taught her more about her product than any spreadsheet could. In this episode, she shares how she built her brand from the ground up, what the Summer Fancy Food Show changed for her, and why she chose to grow on her own terms before taking her brand national.
Episode #87
By the time Rachel Cheng joined co-founders Marlon and Ben to build Yay's Snacks, she had spent seven years learning what it takes to build a food operation that gives a founder room to lead. In this episode, she shares the systems, the team culture, and the mindset that create space for a founder to grow the business, rest, and actually live.

FAQs
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
