Natasha Case: Lunch Bunch and Coolhaus F...

SECOND LIFE
About this episode

In 2018, Natasha Case joined us on Second Life to talk about her pivot from architecture to ice cream, and now, the serial food entrepreneur is back to discuss her latest venture, Lunch Bunch. After stepping down from her day-to-day role at Coolhaus, Case was inspired to solve a different food problem: Where are the nutritious, convenient meal-kit options for the pickiest of eaters—kids? Lunch Bunch started as a meal subscription service but has evolved into a school partnership and enrichment program to provide lunches and teach kids about food, nutrition, and cooking. On this episode, hear how Case continues to navigate pivot after pivot.
