When you keep raising money to do that, you keep giving more and more people big chunks of your business.

Then you actually become that unicorn because then the pie is big enough for everybody.”

In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Ooshma Garg,  founder and CEO of gourmet meal kit service Gobble. After experiencing the challenges of maintaining a healthy diet while running her first startup in college, Ooshma realized the importance of quick and easy home cooked meals for busy people.
