Tximista Lizarazu, the Co-Founder and CEO of Fraîche steps back on to the New York Launch Pod. Since the last time Tximista was on the podcast, a lot has changed for Fraîche . Fraîche is an innovative vending machine that delivers fresh food to offices, catering to companies as they return to the office and seek to attract talent. Tximista explains that Fraîche has experienced tremendous growth, multiplying their revenue by ten in just nine months. They have achieved this with a small sales team and are now looking to close an extension round to hire additional sales reps and continue their expansion.

Tximista highlights a few reasons behind their rapid growth, including the booming return-to-office trend and the need for new perks to make the office an exciting place. Traditional cafeterias no longer make sense for companies with reduced office occupancy, whereas Fraîche's smart fridge technology provides a more sensible and cost-effective solution. With no on-site labor required, Fraîche can offer fresh food from local restaurants with a single daily delivery, making it profitable from day one.

The conversation delves into how Fraîche helps build culture within offices, acting as a gathering point for employees and fostering interaction and bonding.

Jonathan Rosen, Co-Founder of NY Forever, steps onto the New York Launch Pod to discuss his celebrity studded and corporate sponsored non-profit initiative which is encouraging New Yorkers to commit to New York City, support our front line workers and give what you can to keep the city strong.

As the successful founder of a PR company, BerlinRosen, and a New Yorker for over 20 years, Jonathan has seen the way the city has been hurting since the Covid-19 pandemic started last year. In order to support the city he loves, he's started NY Forever to give back by leveraging his network, getting people involved and supporting organizations which are helping struggling New Yorkers in this unprecedented situation. Taking their motto from a New York Magazine cover from the 1970's, "We've Got to Help Ourselves", Jonathan has recruited top fashion brands like Public School, tech companies like SalesForce and prominent celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer to get involved and help promote volunteer and fundraising opportunities that are alleviating the dire circumstances many New Yorkers face. His goal is simple: to get half a million New Yorkers to sign the pledge at nyforever.nyc in order to receive updates that will connect them with practical ways in which they can help the city.

In this episode we talk about the overwhelming support Jonathan has received from the New York business community, how NY Forever is giving back to the city, and much more!

Lindsay Liu, Founder of Super, steps on to the New York Launch Pod to discuss her new property management platform. Lindsay was on the board of her own Co-Op and was frustrated by the way the building was operating (and not because of the people). 

Lindsay's building was using a hodgepodge of software (if any), sending out physical mailings, and keeping track of important building documents on Lindsay's own personal Google Drive. Lindsay did some research and found out that her building wasn't alone.  Like any good entrepreneur Lindsay set out to solve a problem that she encountered herself.  

Listen to the podcast to find out how Lindsay built Super and how she wants to help all Co-Ops and Condos run better.
