#44: Dayton Miller, Managing Partner at Boulder Food Group

Today I'm joined by Dayton Miller, Managing Partner at Boulder Food Group.

In this episode, we talked about investing in better-for-you brands, breaking into food and beverage, the four variables Dayton looks for in a startup, and where the category is heading next.
