@theventure: This guy sold cookies on the street and built a plant-based chicken empire backed by Drake 🍗💰 It's 2018. Ross Mackay is a former tennis player from Glasgow. Years earlier, a fellow athlete dared him to go vegan for a week, and he never went back. But he couldn't find a plant-based chicken that actually tasted good, so he decides to make one himself. The problem: he has no money. To fund his first batch, Ross hits the streets of Scotland selling plant-based cookies and pitches every burger joint that'll see him. Hundreds say no, and he doesn't make a single dollar. ✓ Spends his last dollars on a one-way flight to New York, carrying nothing but a bag of his product ✓ Launches Daring, plant-based chicken made from just five ingredients, and it takes off ✓ Lands Whole Foods, Walmart, and Target, who all want it on shelves ✓ Raises over $120 million, with backers like Drake and Naomi Osaka Couldn't find good vegan chicken → made it himself → sold cookies to fund it → bet everything on a one-way flight → Daring takes off → $120M raised from Drake and more. Now he's stepped back from Daring to do it all over again, building a hydration brand called Cadence. Sometimes you have to bet everything on a one-way ticket before anyone believes in you. What would you risk it all on if turning back wasn't an option? 🤔 #Business #Daring #PlantBased #Entrepreneur #Cadence @Cadence US @Daring Plant Chicken @Ross Mackay @Ross Mackay
