After six years of hard work, €20m from investors and a move to the US, founder Sorosh Tavakoli is shutting down his vegan cheese company, Stockeld Dreamery.
“People just don’t want these products – they love dairy,” he tells Impact Loop.
“People just don’t want these products – they love dairy,” he tells Impact Loop.
Sorosh Tavakoli takes my call while walking through the streets of New York. It’s here that he’s been living with his family for the past few years, dedicating himself fully to getting his company Stockeld Dreamery’s melting vegan cheese into American supermarkets and restaurants.
He’s succeeded in doing just that – his products are now, by his own account, available in around 500 locations. The problem is, that’s still nowhere near enough for him to dare – or perhaps to have the energy – to take the next step.
