Live Interview with Allison and Stephen Ellsworth

Founders of Poppi

Poppi: a delicious, better-for-you soda made with clean ingredients. Struggling with a variety of health issues, Allison created Poppi after discovering the health benefits of apple cider vinegar (ACV) and experimenting in her kitchen to make it taste great. From the farmers market to a shark tank deal and now in retailers nationwide, Poppi quickly became one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic beverages in the U.S.

Our Founding Story

Mike launched The Consumer VC Podcast in the midst of the COVID pandemic as a way to tell the stories of founders and investors in the Consumer Packaged Goods industry. Marc reached out to him after a particularly interesting interview with well-known CPG founder from Austin. After a brief, but refreshing conversation, they immediately decided to host a three-day online summit gathering the best founders and funders in the CPG community. That first Summit went so well, they decided to host four more online before meeting for the first time in person to host the fifth Summit in Austin during SXSW.
