At a Future Human pop-up event, FenuHealth co-founder Kate Madden took us through her company by numbers.
“It was our 152nd blend that worked. So we always say: what would have happened if we had stopped at 151?”
With these words, Kate Madden, who founded FenuHealth as a teenager with her younger sister Annie, urged fellow young entrepreneurs to persevere just as she did.
