After building Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams into one of the most recognizable brands in modern food, Jeni Britton is starting again.
Her new company, Floura, is taking on a very different challenge: rethinking how consumers get fiber and plant diversity through products made with ingredients that might otherwise go to waste.
In this episode, Jeni shares why she decided to become a startup founder again, what she’s doing differently the second time around, and how the lessons from building Jeni’s are shaping Floura. We talk about creating a new category, educating consumers, developing products people actually crave, building a brand with multiple benefits, and what it feels like to go from running an established company back to building from the ground up.
It’s a conversation about Floura, but also about how experience changes the way you build when you get the opportunity to start again.
