oji Berries are the superfood of the year and I’m obsessed with them.
I was ecstatic to know that Matt and Sava the owners of GoMix had added the popular fruit to their trail mix. They are Popular Preneur’s of the week because they’re young and ambitious and paving the way in the food industry. Read the interview below to find out more about GoMix …….
“My name is Matthew Forkas, I’m 25, and a Northern VA native.
I would consider myself a down to earth person, driven, and totally level headed. (Maybe a little stubborn at times)”
Q. What’s your Preneur?
My company is called GoMix! We are a healthy snack food company based out of Washington DC!
Q. What inspired you to start and how long have you been in business?
We began to test the market in late September and launched officially in Mid February! My business partner and I started this company after being unable to find a
Clean alternative to protein bars and other sugary/salty snacks. What we would find is products that taste good but weren’t actually good for you.
We decided we want to make a product with the best ingredients, no processing, no added sugar – just real whole ingredients that taste great.
Q. Technology has made it a lot easier for small businesses to handle their day-to-day task. What apps, social media platforms or websites allow you to run your business with ease? Sava and I are really fond of instagram’s platform. We think the power of pictures is so valuable and it helps showcase your brand. That accompanied with other features makes it super easy to connect with other businesses and potential customers!
Q. Where can people purchase GoMixx?
We are spread throughout the DC area but you can always find us at getGoMix.com and on Amazon!
Q. In what ways do you believe that millennial’s are shaping the future?
This is a hard question – I think we’re on the brink of a new era. I think what we are calling for is more simplicity, more transparency and more convenience.
These qualities are and will continue to change industries across the board. We are living in an exciting time for sure.
Q. What advice would you give to someone looking to start a product line of healthy snacks? Where should they start?
I think they should start in their kitchen! In the beginning its best to test ideas without spending too much money. Find suppliers order ingredients and just have fun!
Make things that you love to eat, just make them better than everyone else!
