Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ida Hjorth, CEO of Brain blend, located in Copenhagen, Denmark.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We make organic latte blends without sugar and are dairy free. Produced in Denmark. We have three variants: Golden latte, Chai latte, and Choco latte. A good alternative to coffee and tea.

Tell us about yourself

I'm creative and want to make a difference in this world with my work. It motivates me when I hear from the customers that the products have made a difference in their everyday lives.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Getting into Denmark's biggest organic bakery, Emmerys, with one of our blends, Golden latte. It has now been there for two years and doing great.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

That you are doing almost all things by yourself and always are at work, at least with your mind.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Find something that excites you and makes a difference in this world.
  2. Ask for help. You can't be good at everything.
  3. Be yourself, stick to your values, and believe in your mission.

Where can people find you and your business?
