79. Jason Karp, Founder and CEO of HumanCo

Today I'm joined by Jason Karp, Founder and CEO of HumanCo — a holding company of health and wellness brands.

In this episode, we talk about Jason's experience starting Hu, a healthy snack brand, and selling the company to Mondelez. Jason shares his vision for HumanCo, which includes investing in, incubating, and acquiring brands. And we discuss HumanCo Acquisition Corp, a $250M SPAC led by Jason and CAVU Venture Partners.
