In this ongoing column, The Digest, Entrepreneur.com News Director Stephen J. Bronner speaks with food entrepreneurs and executives to see what it took to get their products into the mouths of customers.
If Ethan Brown gets his way, within the next few years, his now-tween kids will drive themselves to McDonald’s, Burger King or Wendy’s to order a plant-based burger made by his company, Beyond Meat.
“I’m very confident that’s going to happen, because I think the consumer is turning so quickly. We are not telling people not to eat meat — I think that would be a massive mistake — we’re simply suggesting that they have a new type of meat, just plant based,” says Brown, the founder and CEO of the El Segundo, Calif.-based company. “Once we break the code and get to the point where it’s indistinguishable from animal protein, I think you will see that shift.”

Why Bitcoin is Stupid “Government-issued currencies have value because they represent human trust and cooperation. There is no wealth and no trade without these two things, so you might as well go all-in and trust people. There are no financial instruments that will protect you from a world where we no longer trust each other.” via Why Bitcoin is Stupid — Discover

Elijah Sharpe - Entrepreneurs get financial support from Pitch It and Win It event
Ten entrepreneur hopefuls made their business pitches to a four-judge panel for a chance to win financial help and get feedback on their ideas.
It was a mixed bunch of presenters at the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce Pitch It and Win It event Saturday — an artisan Italian gelato and sorbetto food truck, an auto-detailing business, pathogen detecting technology marketed for food companies and a craft studio that offers an array of classes.
Tumblr media
Everyone walked away with a little extra financial support from the event sponsor RMI, a nonprofit that provides 504 business loans. The company pledged $5,000 but ultimately gave $11,000 in aid to the businesses.
This year's winners are:
$2,000-prize winners: Don Irwin, Love My Gelato; Douglas Wright and Damien Long, Doug's Auto Detailing, Inc; and Bret Volmert and Elijah Sharpe, Nanotechnovate.
$1,000-prize winners: Terry Donner, Rent Ready; Suzanne Rousch, DIY Creative Studio; Kim Harrison, 2BuyAg; Kayla Wilbers, EwToNew Renovation; and Jody Wagner, J Wag-Bags.
Leslie Tanner, with Central Bank, has helped judge the event for several years. She sees the business plans beforehand, but the paper version doesn't match watching people's passion for their business.
"We don't want to make them nervous; we just want to encourage them to come out," Tanner said, "and give them feedback after the event too, if they want it."
As a judge, she wanted to see people sell their plan to the panel with their love and passion for their ideas. Judges scored each presenter based on clarity, credibility, purpose, realism and passion.
"If we can get just five companies started up, that would be great," she said.
Irwin with Love My Gelato was inspired to make his own artisan gelato and sorbetto with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients after touring Italy with his wife on a business trip. Gelato separates itself from ice cream on three main levels — it has less butterfat, is churned with less air, and is made and kept at a slightly warmer temperature.
He studied the art of making gelato, purchased commercial kitchen equipment and a food truck he plans to take to festivals, fairs and other area events. His long-term plan would be to have his products in local shops and potentially have a brick-and-mortar storefront.
Irwin said he would use the money to buy a brand wrap for his food truck.
Volmert and Sharpe with Nanotechnovate sought money to help pay for their pending patent for a device that can be used in-house by food companies to test their products for food-borne pathogens. The pair said their device was part of a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant and has better capabilities than their competitors.

Some prize competitions seek to solve problems to benefit the public; others may spur industry through the creation of new businesses.
And some do both.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) I-FAST competition sought to bring fundamental academic research to the marketplace through innovations in food and agricultural science and technology, or I-FAST.
Working with the National Science Foundation (NSF), USDA awarded $50,000 each to four winning teams, who are now working to bring their innovations to the marketplace.
