More people are choosing to follow plant-based diets. Exciting new startups are disrupting this space by creating innovation in food, direct to consumer offerings, meal delivery services, sustainable clothing, health and beauty, restaurants and more. We will be interviewing plant-based CEO’s and established leaders in their own fields. Hear what drives these entrepreneurs and learn more about their companies.
In this episode we talk to John Rushton and Abdul Sharief Co-Founders of Vegums. The pair came together whilst working at the same hospital in Burnley, England. They wanted to follow their same vegan ethics and decided to create a supplements company with John’s children’s health in mind. Their first product was a multivitamin in the shape of a gummy bear and it’s now not just for kids. In the UK most people are deficient in B12 and Vitamin D, so we discuss these and the need for other essential vitamins in our diets. They have gone on to create additional supplements to include Fish-Free Omega 3, Sugar Free A-Z multivitamin and Iron. They have expanded into Germany and are planning to launch into the US by the end of 2021.
