Food Business Start-up

Aisling Flanagan Velvet Cloud With Product
Aisling Flanagan Founder of Velvet Cloud Sheep’s Milk Yogurt and Cheese Delighted to see a programme like this, as a female entrepreneur in food myself, it concerns me that females are grossly under-represented in the sector. I think peer led work-based entrepreneurial training really helps.
Cepta 1
Cepta Madden female founder of Cookalicious Taking part in programs specific to food and females Cepta commented that they “help me to look at things differently, to adapt, tweak and change things and allow myself to simplify and take a step back when required. The continuing supports have given me the confidence to bring my idea to life. Words cannot describe the importance of the encouragement, the support and the mentoring we are given”. “the peer led training and encouraging environment gave me the confidence and boost I needed to bring Cookalicious to life as a female food entrepreneur!”
Goat Ireland
Goat Ireland - Ami Madden (graduate pilot program) ‘At every step there are challenges, and I think you have to make peace with that because the goalposts move’. “Going back to education was daunting, however what I gained was more than I could have imagined. Skills and knowledge to help me progress and grow the business not to mention the inspiration of being around other driven women entrepreneurs, the support and encouragement was the biggest gain”.
totallynutz Katie
Katie O’Gorman creator TotallyNutz butter “The course training gave me the opportunity to work and learn from likeminded peers and females in the food sector. I learnt about hidden pitfalls in food business that I would never of had considered and how others overcame them”.

For any female that has a dream of setting up their own food artisan business, go for it...keep it simple, be kind and don’t over complicate it. Dream big and don’t be followed by money as that when you begin to lose sight of what you are doing
Lobster
Julia’s Lobster Truck “I thought the female specific training and mentoring sessions were fantastic and invaluable. Prototyping my product on the spot with classmates, peers and the public was brilliant it allowed me to grow and trust my vision for my food business. I wish that I had been more prepared for it, however in all honesty, I think I got more from it on the spot. Working with other aspiring and current female entrepreneurs in food and listening to the fantastic mentors and peers - who were our lecturers, I have learnt the importance of conversation, sharing ideas and merging interests. I never really wanted this course to end!”
