Matt Rosen lives in Eden Prairie, MN and sells gourmet shortbread cookies with his cottage food business, Sergeant Shortbread.
Matt has a fascinating story that started completely randomly while he was on vacation. It inspired him to start making shortbread cookies, despite having zero prior baking experience.
Before long, he started receiving requests for his cookies from friends and coworkers, and his business was born.
Over the past 6+ years, his business has taken a number of turns, including finding commercial kitchens to take on larger events and wholesale orders, doing a full rebrand and business name change midway through, and finding a focus in business-to-business orders.
