“I wasn’t one of those kids that had a lemonade stand, you know, those entrepreneurial kids that love business!?! I had a rock collection. Like, I was one of those super nerdy science kids and it wasn’t until later, like waaay late, like a couple years ago, that I realized business could be a part of problem solving.” - Kate Jakubas

Meet Kate Jakubas and Mike Meyer, Co-Founders of Meliora Cleaning Products, a company based out Chicago, Illinois that creates all-natural laundry and home cleaning products that are both good for the planet & people.
