Kate Weiler, DRINKmaple: Maple trees don't care if we have money in the bank or not
Next we spoke to Kate Weiler, co-founder and CEO of maple water brand DRINKmaple
What keeps you awake at night?
Cash flow. With the seasonality of our product, we have a very intense capital outlay during the production season. The trees are going to run when the weather determines it is time and they don't care if we have money in the bank or not.
Any other thoughts?
I am encouraged by the current food and beverage movement. We are seeing more and more people paying attention to what they are putting in their bodies to improve their health. It is creating a lot of opportunities for healthy food and beverages to succeed in the marketplace.
