The Donut Biz She Started in Her Kitchen is Now a Bestseller at Erewhon

Kristin Charbo, founder of Glonuts, is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy!

Kristin is the founder of Glonuts, the healthy donut replacement that’s been a major hit at places like Erewhon, Alfred and Bristol Farms. After starting a mobile coffee cart business, Kristin and her partner (in life and business partner) realized their healthy donuts were the sellout item. They doubled-down on the donuts, and pretty immediately got picked up by Erewhon.

Now, five years since launching the coffee cart, Krisin has seen a lot; from scaling her business right from her kitchen where they made, packed, and delivered hundreds of thousands of Glonuts, to now being launched nationwide and growing a community of brand fans. Kristin gives us all the tea on building a food brand from the ground up, how to work with distributors and co-manufacturers, how she’s raised money from all-star founder angel investors, and what’s next for Glonuts.
