What it does

Founders First is a podcast devoted to young founders. We sit down with the founders of venture-backed startups and ask them to tell us how they really got started. Listen to learn something but also listen for the raw personal stories of starting a startup.

Founders First explores how founders got started, what they did before starting their startups, and how you can go from an idea to a venture-backed company.

Hamama is helping people grow nutritious microgreens in their home, year-round. Camille Richman, and her co-founder Dan Goodman, started the company after meeting at MIT. Their product consists of 3 seed quilts that are laid in a reusable growing tray. Years of growing food in the lab and at home have made their system fail-proof and a viable option for inexperienced gardeners to benefit from homegrown veggies. Those greens are supremely fresh, extremely nutritious, and a novel addition to most diets. Camille talks with 1517 Fund’s Zak Slayback about their rigorous customer discovery process, how they’ve built everything themselves, and the potential market with Baby Boomers.
