Bringing Korean Flavors to America with KPOP Foods
Manage episode 336355769 series 3086415
This is episode 13 of the Better Food Stories interview series, which includes conversations with the entrepreneurs behind some of today’s newest and most innovative food brands.
When Theo Lee started his MBA program at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, he had an idea that someday he might start his own company. But his road to entrepreneurship turned out a little different than he imagined.
Lee’s company, KPOP Foods is the newest brand helping people discover and enjoy Korean food and flavors. The L.A. startup, which started off as a grad school project, creates deliciously authentic Korean sauces, mayos and sea snacks.
In my conversation with Theo, you’ll learn:
-How his grandmother inspired him to start a food company paying homage to his heritage
-The role that crowdfunding played in getting KPOP Foods off the ground
-What Theo and his team are doing to educate consumers about Korean culture and cuisine, all while building a supportive community of brand advocates.
You can learn more about KPOP Foods by visiting kpopfoods.com.
You can also shop this brand on Amazon. Here’s my personal recommendation:
K-TOWN Korean Sauce Variety 3-Pack (Super Spicy Chili Sauce,
Kimchi Spicy Mayo & Honey Chili Sauce)
