When Angela Sutherland was pregnant with her first child, she discovered that the options for healthy, tasty, nutrient and dense baby food didn’t exist. Initially, it was a scary thought, but she saw opportunity which led to her partnering with good friend Evelyn Rusli and launching Yumi.

Yumi is a nutrition & wellness based company providing quality meals for the first 1,000 days of your child’s life. Yumi meals are fresh, organic, packed with nutrition and delivered RIGHT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR.

Both Co-Founders of Yumi are a force to be reckoned with. Angela Sutherland, the CEO and Co-Founder of Yumi, was formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sacks and is skilled at businesses and operations. Evelyn Rusli, the President and Co-Founder of Yumi, previously was a journalist at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times covering startups and innovation.

On today’s show, Angela and Evelyn talk about the best action step they’ve taken so far in their company and it is spot on.
