FEATURED ENTRPRENEURS
Natalie Wallace
Founder of: Honey Bear
Honey Bear is a dairy free, gluten free, soy free, vegan ice cream company based in Harrisburg, PA. All of our super premium ice creams are made from scratch using our one of a kind, coconut forward recipe. Our motto "ice cream that loves you back" exclaims our devotion to creating desserts that everyone can enjoy and feel good about devouring. Each year, we donate a portion of our sales to animal rescue non-profits, expanding on our commitment to creating food that's kind to our bodies and the planet.
Challenges: We have been presented with a number of exciting wholesale opportunities with national retailers but are unable to fulfill them at this time due to our current kitchen space and limited equipment capabilities. In order to take on these new partnerships, we will need to build our own commercial kitchen that meets wholesale standards and upgrade our equipment on a massive scale. We're seeking ideas for raising capital and scaling responsibly.
Angela Capeles
Founder of: Capeles Agency LLC
We build empathetic and resilient brands + support their brand experience through marketing, branding, and PR.
Challenges: Brand awareness (name recognition as it's a start-up) and limited capital for investing into biz growth.
