Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Adam Spriggs & Chris Robb - Investing Early in Siete, Poppi, and Bachan's
Q: Adam, do you want to give us the quick origin and current vision for The Angel Group, and then Chris, talk about Supernatural and how it complements the group?
The Angel Group started to fill a funding gap between friends-and-family capital and institutional venture, built by insiders from the industry to invest early in CPG. It emphasizes collective diligence, domain expertise, and shared conviction. Supernatural emerged as a natural evolution to formalize early-stage conviction, bring in passive resources, and scale the platform while maintaining an opt-in network that augments deal flow and value-add.
Mehek Khera - Scaling Smart: A Balanced Approach to Velocity and Door Count
Q: How do you approach promotions and velocity with retailers to sustain growth?
Velocity and distribution must go hand in hand; tailor promotions to each retailer's programs, collaborate with buyers to align on metrics and ROI, and use micro-mampling, demos, and social media to build long-term brand visibility while managing shelf execution across stores.
Mehek Khera - Scaling Smart: A Balanced Approach to Velocity and Door Count
Q: Why did you move from an oil-based dip to a no-oil formulation, and how did consumers respond?
Consumer feedback during demos indicated a demand for oil-free, clean-ingredient dips that could still offer flavor and versatility, which led to a thinner, more malleable product that performed well for cooking and dipping alike.
Mehek Khera - Scaling Smart: A Balanced Approach to Velocity and Door Count
Q: What were the key variables you tested during R&D, and was there an 'aha' moment or a steady progression?
There were continuous, iterative improvements over two years, with dozens of trials focused on flavor, mouthfeel, and shelf stability; progress came from blending heritage recipes with scalable processes and from eventual alignment with a capable co-packer, rather than a single breakthrough moment.
Amy Zitelman - Building a Differentiated Brand in an Ancient Category
Q: Why did you decide to expand into Amazon, and what were the key setup learnings?
We saw Amazon as a fast route to capture ongoing consumer purchases, leveraging existing credit card, cart history, and search behavior. The learnings included the value of partnering with a capable agency, iterative optimization of listings, and ongoing photography and video updates to stay competitive.
