This week on Funded Futures, Emily sits down with the brilliant Kate Save - dietitian, exercise physiologist, diabetes educator, serial entrepreneur, Shark Tank alum, and co-founder of Be Fit Food.

From surfing on the Mornington Peninsula to scaling a company that’s changing the way Australians approach health, Kate’s story is one of relentless curiosity, resilience, and razor-sharp purpose.

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, we cover:

• The life-altering moment that sparked her mission to treat food as medicine

• How she went from seven casual jobs to multiple degrees and founding two companies

• The reality of pitching (and surviving) Shark Tank Australia

• Why equity crowdfunding was the right fit for Be Fit Food—and how she raised during one of the hardest times of her life

• The powerful role of values-aligned investors and customer communities

• How she’s bringing personalised nutrition to the masses, from pharmacies to DNA-based health

• What it means to lead with purpose, even through profound personal loss

Kate’s story is proof that building a business with purpose isn’t just possible, it’s essential. Whether you're a founder, investor, or health-conscious listener, this conversation is packed with insight, warmth, and a hefty dose of entrepreneurial grit.
