  The Secret Retail Tactics This Ex-Category Manager is Using To Sell Healthy Cocoa Spreads in Every Supermarket - with Co-Founder of Orthonia, Olivier Laporta

  Sep 1, 202657 min

  For years, Olivier sat in the comfortable chair. As a category manager at Delhaize, he was the one giving suppliers a thumbs up or thumbs down, deciding what made it onto the shelf. Now he's on the other side of the table, sending emails that go unanswered for three weeks, waiting on a single order that his cash flow depends on. In this episode of Tomorrow's Bites, we sit down with Olivier Laporta, co-founder of Orthonia, to unpack what it actually takes to put a healthier cacao spread on a shelf already owned by one of the most beloved brands in the world. In this conversation, Olivier reveals what the two sides of the shelf taught him: The four P framework a category manager uses to decide your fate, and why your margin can kill you before your product ever gets tasted Why the same power he once held now feels horrible from the supplier's seat How he and Katharina bought machines, drove a small truck to a factory, and started producing themselves, then spent a 30-degree summer day under a broken machine to save a single order Why keeping production in-house is a pain that's also their protection against copycats The uncomfortable Nutri-Score A line they refuse to cross, even when a B would be easier The rebrand and the investor warning about calling something chocolate when there's no cocoa butter inside Why organic ingredients here cost three times conventional, not the usual 15%, and the split-range decision that tension is forcing This is a conversation about power, margins, shelf life, and the unglamorous mechanics of getting a better product into someone's hands. If you're building a food brand and trying to crack retail, this is the episode to hear before your first buyer meeting. Share it with a founder about to pitch a category manager.

  Building in Public #10: How To Negotiate Contracts On Your Terms With Investors (Without Killing Your Company) with Andres Jara Co-Founder of Favamole

  Aug 25, 202633 min

  The clause looked harmless. Sign here, get the money, keep building. But with a twist: sign it, and the company starts bleeding out before anyone notices. In this Build in Public episode of Tomorrow's Bites, Andres Jara is back after what he calls a crazy month, one spent buried in term sheets, convertible loans, and the small print that can quietly kill a startup. This isn't the polished version. It's the one where his confidence dropped through the floor, he stopped posting on LinkedIn, and a single clause held up his entire runway. The lesson underneath it all: before you negotiate with anyone, write a contract with yourself. In this conversation, Andres breaks down what that actually means in practice: Why knowing your non-negotiables before the first meeting makes investors respect you more, not less The "most favorable terms" clause that pitted his two investors against each other, and how he got them in a room instead of playing ping pong between them Why investors love to negotiate when you're under time pressure, and how planting a seed months earlier saved him The condition that trapped him: show 80% of the budget, but once the money lands, you can't borrow to cover the gap Where AI actually helped, and the one thing he'd never outsource to it before calling a real advisor Why an investor who wants a say in every decision is the moment you stop owning your company The difference between a scarcity yes and an abundance no when the runway is shrinking And the conversation with his mother, at nearly midnight on the worst day, that reframed the whole thing LEAVE A REVIEW If you like our podcast please leave us a review on your favourite platform – even one sentence helps!

  Inside The Journey Of a €2M+ Snack Brand - With Renco Schipper Co-Founder Snack with Benefits

  Aug 18, 20261h 18m

  What does the journey look like of a €2M+ Snack Brand ? In this episode of Tomorrow's Bites , we sit down with Renco Schipper , co-founder of Snack with Benefits — a Dutch vegetable snack brand that built its way to €1.1 million in revenue without ever relying on retail. Starting with a dinner for a plant-based friend, a borrowed kitchen at Kitchen Republic, and his father driving cauliflowers from the field to Amsterdam every weekend, Renco built a brand that now supplies restaurants, wholesalers, and catering companies across the Netherlands — and is eyeing Germany next. The secret? He said no to the supermarket when the moment wasn't right — and doubled down on the food service channel that was already working. We explore: Why Renco walked away from a listing in 400 Albert Heijn stores — and why he'd make the same call again How a bag of potato crisp waste from a Frisian factory became Snack with Benefits' signature crunch — and saved over 300,000 packages from the bin The "IKEA recipe method" that protects your formula when you hand production to a manufacturer Why getting into a wholesaler is only the start of the game — and what actually drives orders once you're listed How Snack with Benefits went from producing cauliflower bites by hand on weekends to hitting 40% quarterly growth with a brand new sales team Why the snackification trend is bigger than the microwave revolution — and what that means for everyone working in food Renco also shares what it's like to build a company with your life partner, why co-founders who share the same deadline sleep better than most, and what it took to turn a €15 student investment into a 250-euro return — back when he was 17.

  Aug 11, 20266 min

  An investor called Tsarona the next Oatly, the next Matcha. For most founders that's the dream. Kamogelo Thumankwe said no. Scaling fast that way meant betraying the mission the beverage brand was built on. Her business partner wasn't happy. A mentor told her to just do the milk and scale it. She turned it down anyway. With Kamogelo, co-founder of Tsarona, we talk through the real cost of choosing mission over fast money, why fitting in wasted her time, and what listening to actual customers taught her. In 7 min you learn how a mission-driven food founder decides when growth is worth it and when it isn't.Listen to the full conversation here .

  How Food Apps Are NOW Changing What Sells in Retail? - with co-founder of FLTRD, Anke Kuik

  Aug 4, 202659 min

  Half of all Dutch citizens live with a chronic disease. Anke Kuik looked at that number, then looked at the supermarket, where more than 70% of the products are ultra processed, and asked the question nobody was acting on: if we know this is making us sick, why is it still the easy choice? In this episode of Tomorrow's Bites, we sit down with Anke Kuik, co-founder of FLTRD, to unpack what it takes to build a food app that scores products on how processed they are, and to challenge the way we've all been taught to read food labels. Anke didn't come from food. She built and sold a data and privacy company one year before GDPR went live, then combined that background in data and technology with a new obsession: why healthy choices are so hard to make. Her first version tried to do everything. Recipes, education, shopping lists, all outsourced to an external tech company, all too expensive to change. She stripped it down to one thing that actually worked. The result is the Pure Score, a zero to 100 system validated by the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam, built on more than 5,000 individually scored ingredients. In this conversation, Anke reveals: The three mechanisms that actually make ultra processed food bad for you, and why "more than five ingredients" is the wrong way to think about it Why a fresh vegetable and a frozen one score exactly the same in her system How the same additive can score green in a tin of tomatoes and cost you points in a soft drink Why she won't give plus points for probiotics, even when the label brags about them What the Nutri-Score gets wrong, and why a red salmon score confuses everyone Why she's now licensing the score to the same supermarkets she started by scraping data from The uncomfortable trust problem waiting for her the day a supermarket becomes a partner Why 7,000 monthly users and a French app called Yuka convinced her the timing is finally right This is a conversation about focus, food literacy, and the messy reality of turning a health mission into a business people will pay for. If you build, brand, or sell anything people put in their mouths, this episode will change how you read the back of the packet. Share it with someone who scans labels and still isn't sure what they're looking at.
