Love+Chew Founder Lauren Chew Scales Business to New Heights
Lauren Chew started her plant-based cookie, named Love Chew, and was now the founder and CEO of her $1 million + side business. Even before he became an entrepreneur, Chew worked in the renewable energy sector in Stem and SolarCity (Tesla). When she decided to take to a plant-based diet, she began to try to make vegan egg substitutes and incorporate whole ingredients such as dates and chia seeds into her baked goods. The big step towards business growth was made when a corporate office ordered an immense quantity of products. As a result, Love+Chew evolved from a home cottage, license business.
Chew confronted many difficulties. For example, the American food distribution system that provides preference to foods with the longest shelf lives no matter how unhealthy they might be. Nonetheless, Love+Chew started generating steady revenue during the Covid-19, and they can be found in Sprouts, Whole Foods Market and select Costcos. That’s an achievement that has toppled the $3 Million mark in the last year, because consumers have appreciated Chew’s decision of preparing yummy food with no additives.
Out of passion to transform such a faulty status of food production, Chew had to cut down on the firms where she undertook her business operation to concentrate fully on her cookie firm. It gives her a great deal of joy to have a growing and learning experience of operating a business where she handles the company’s human resource management to presenting a new marketing idea. It can be therefore seen that Chew’s goal is not solely about dollars and cents, but about the opportunity to change the food industry and develop better products that will be enriched with vitamins and nutrients.
