In this bonus episode of the Startup CPG podcast, Grace Kennedy is joined by Sarah Nathan, the visionary founder behind NOOISH, a pioneering brand revolutionizing the instant matzo ball soup market. Sarah brings a wealth of experience from both the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry and the rich tapestry of Jewish culinary traditions. Together, they explore Sarah's journey from inspiration to product development, navigating challenges in recipe refinement and manufacturing decisions.

Sarah shares her insights into creating a shelf-stable, mass-market product that stays true to its cultural roots. She discusses the meticulous process of collaborating with experts to perfect the recipe and her bold decision to self-manufacture, ensuring quality and control every step of the way. Alongside product innovation, Sarah reveals her strategies for funding, including community-driven support from family and friends and a successful Kickstarter-like campaign.

As NOOISH prepares for its launch, Sarah outlines upcoming milestones such as finalizing recipes and commencing manufacturing in a new facility.
