STAND OUT IN THE MARKET, RAISE MONEY, AND LISTEN TO CUSTOMERS — HOW NADAMOO! DID IT ALL TO CREATE A BRAND ADORED BY MILLIONS

How do you reinvent the ice cream industry and do it successfully? On this episode of OWC's Leaders & GameChangers, Setorii speaks with Daniel Nicholson, the CEO of NadaMoo! that did just that and is loved by millions.

Americans eat more ice cream than anywhere else in the world. Ice cream is not only a summertime essential, Ice cream is a treat loved by the world. Hollywood has glamorized ice cream in films like, Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn – The muppet movie with Bob Hope, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, The Notebook, The Shining… are just a few films which showcased this familiar guilty pleasure.

The origins of ice cream are thought to date back to the Roman Empire. Traditional ice cream and gelatos are made with animal products such as milk and cream, which gets its dense and addictive richness from the fats found in dairy but look how far we have come today with all the flavors and options to choose from!

Many people have not been able to enjoy ice cream through the years due to their dietary restrictions, allergies and diets. Since 2005, NadaMoo! was ahead of the times and a leader in the plant based dessert market. The founder of NadaMOO! was Amy Ramm and she created a new segment in the market by giving people an alternative option for a new kind of creamy ice cream base without the moo we are used to expecting. Amy wanted to make a better version of a healthy ice cream and thanks to a fateful tasting with her friend Matt, who was one of the owners of Juiceland on Barton Springs Road in Austin, he insisted on selling it and it gained momentum quickly by catching the attention of Whole Foods and the rest is history.

On this episode of Leaders & GameChangers, Setorii will speak with the man that has helped change a dessert industry. Daniel Nicholson was so inspired what what he tasted and saw, he joined the NadaMoo! team and swiftly after joining he set out to help continue to develop and create different flavors with their team and the market loved them. Daniel is the President and CEO of NadaMOO! and he, his family and the NadaMOO! team have steered their company towards continued growing success thanks to their passions for the brand, devotion to making things better and while also making sustainably smart choices to help the environment. They are a certified B corp business and

Existing capital partners, District Ventures Capital, InvestEco, and new partner Killam Investments believed in the continuing success of NadaMOO!’s journey so much they smartly invested a raise of nearly $10M in 2021 which shows us all how many are cheering on this family operated and Austin based company.
