    Some amazing news out of GoodSAM, PBC, who just announced the successful first closing of its Series A financing round! ALIVE Ventures led the round with the additional participation of Desert Bloom, Connecticut Innovations, and other angel investors. A previous bridge round was anchored by One Small Planet through its endowment, the Peterffy Foundation, Kachuwa Impact Fund, and Generation-Re, a Regenerative Agriculture Investment Syndicate. Congrats to Heather K. Terry, Marcia Bell and the entire team! This company is having a major impact on the lives of small farmers in Africa and Latin America, and bringing some phenomenal regenerative organic products to the marketplace. With this round, the impact will be even greater. Incredibly exciting and even bigger things are ahead! https://lnkd.in/e6BDk8Wi #organic #regenerativeorganic #cpg

    Exciting News! Cynthia Tice, founder of Lily's Sweets shared her incredible journey on one of the most widely listened-to business programs in the U.S. How I Built This with Guy Raz.   Cynthia’s journey has always been an inspiring one from when she first entered the Natural Products industry to the acquisition of Lily’s Chocolates by the The Hershey Company. To Cynthia, it has always been about more than just business—it was about *Right Livelihood*, a Buddhist concept that inspired her to do work she loves, make a living, and benefit people and the planet. 🌍 A true win-win.   That sense of purpose stayed with her throughout her career. Over the years, as she reinvented herself, two things have remained constant: the Natural Products Industry and entrepreneurship as an art form—a way to express herself and drive meaningful impact. Today, for Cynthia, it’s all about using business as a force for good. 🌱 Conscious CPG is a reflection of this philosophy, embodying the 5 P's—People, Planet, Purpose, Product, and Profit.    We are grateful to have Cynthia as a part of our #BeyondBrands community as an Entrepreneur in Residence and as a true leader in supporting and accelerating the Conscious CPG community.    You can hear her inspiring story on any podcast platform: Wondery; Apple Podcasts; Spotify. #howibuiltthis #cpg #naturalproducts #womanowned #entrepreneur #femaleentrepreneur #naturalproductsindustry #consciouscpg

    #BeyondBrands is thrilled to partner with KA-EX® launching in all Earthbar locations across California and within Equinox studios. KA-EX® is the world’s only #cortisol stress reducer with near-immediate effects. Unlike Ashwagandha, which takes weeks to show results and can have side effects, KA-EX® works by optimizing key bioprocesses for cortisol reduction.

    SWISS CORTISOL STRESS REDUCER LANDS IN CALIFORNIA- In partnership with BeyondBrands and Jon Hayman, we've successfully launched KA-EX in all Earthbar locations across California, including 28 within Equinox studios—one of the most luxurious and prestigious gym chains in the U.S. But why is a Swiss functional beverage making its mark at such a trendsetting retailer? At this year’s Expo West in LA, amidst hundreds of stylish beverages, we didn’t anticipate getting listed so soon at one of the top retailers in the U.S. So, why KA-EX® over the many other options? KA-EX® is the world’s only cortisol stress reducer with near-immediate effects. Unlike Ashwagandha, which takes weeks to show results and can have side effects, KA-EX® works by optimizing key bioprocesses for cortisol reduction. Recently, we presented clinical studies on KA-EX. One showed a 36% reduction in cortisol (the stress hormone) post-workout. Another demonstrated the benefits of lowered cortisol, including 15% longer REM sleep, 9% higher daily energy, 8% better mood, and a 4% decrease in resting heart rate. Even though KA-EX® is a mainstream success in Switzerland, it still feels like the U.S. is its true place!

    Co-Founder of Khalo | On a mission to radically change our relationship with food | Holistic Living | Ayurvedic Chef

    🚀 After 2.5 years in stealth mode, I’m beyond excited to finally share Khalo with you!!! 🌿 Khalo is the first-ever Ayurvedic food brand bringing functional olive oil cooking pastes to the market. We’re here to transform everyday meals into nourishing rituals using ancient spices and herbs that support gut health. 💡 Khalo started over 5 years ago when I was still working in the beauty industry when I was working at brands like Lancome, Dior, and AAVRANI, and struggling with gut health issues like IBS and leaky gut. As an Indian American immigrant, I found myself caught up in the convenience of the American processed food diet—until I realized it was taking a huge toll on my health. 👩🍳 I turned to my mom’s wisdom Through countless FaceTime calls, she taught me how to cook in a way that tasted incredible and healed me! That’s when I rediscovered the power of Ayurvedic spices and herbs. 🌟 Ayurveda transformed my life, healing my gut issues. I’ve made it my personal mission to share this wisdom with others in a way that’s accessible and convenient. So, what's Khalo? 🍽️ Khalo brings this ancient wisdom into today’s modern kitchens with 3 Ayurvedic olive oil cooking pastes, each packed w/ over 20 potent spices and herbs like turmeric, ginger, and cumin — these ingredients are known to support gut health, improve digestion, and alleviate bloating: - Hot Take: Umami, Aromatic, Spicy. Perfect for proteins and hearty pulses. - Essential: Savory, Vibrant, Aromatic. Ideal for veggies and leafy greens. - Gold Rush: Warming, Earthy, Peppery. Great for grains, legumes, and root veggies. Why Khalo? ✨ Creating Khalo has been more than just a personal healing journey — As an Indian American, I’m proud to share Ayurveda’s rich wisdom with the world and help others experience the benefits that have transformed my life. 🥗 Khalo makes it easy to turn everyday meals into nourishing rituals that support gut health while adding delicious, vibrant flavors. Whether you’re drizzling, sautéing or roasting - Khalo elevates your dishes with a touch of wellness in every bite. 🌍 Khalo sits at cross of 4 multi-billion dollar industries (Ayurveda, condiments, functional foods, gut-health), and we’re excited to help make Ayurveda mainstream here in the U.S and beyond. ____ 🎉 Pre-orders are NOW open! see comments 💬 Let’s chat! My DMs are open, and I’d love to connect with you. Let’s share the magic of Ayurvedic food with the world. 🙏 I’m so grateful for our amazing team, advisors advocates, and our investors. This journey wouldn’t be possible without you.
