Listen Later

In this episode of Creative Coordinates, we sit down with Michael Montella, the first-time founder of Yeoman - a bold new marketplace connecting America’s farms directly with local food businesses and consumers.

We explore:
•⁠ ⁠The origin story behind Yeoman and the “Farmazon” concept
•⁠ ⁠Why he’s focused on B2B2C and P2P logistics
•⁠ ⁠What it’s like raising $600K with no prior startup experience
•⁠ ⁠How Yeoman hopes to reverse a system where farmers earn less than 14 cents per grocery dollar
•⁠ ⁠The power of small, local farms — and why U.S. agriculture is overdue for a refresh
•⁠ ⁠Why furniture making might be his secret backup career
Plus:
🚀 A Rocket Round full of farmer’s markets, Moby Dick, coffee shop plug-ins, and big founder energy.
