👊 Founders take plenty of hard knocks, and they can be some of the best learning experiences. 💫 Foodprint founder Michal Garvey knows this well, and has seen it in action more than once. 📈 She talks about how she's grown a business saving imperfect food to nearly 100,000 customers, and the big lessons along the way. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gg2NAWzp Creative HQ Sustainable Business Network Sprout Agritech
