Started: 2015
Once we brought in senior leadership, we established a structured equity pool that increased as employees were promoted. I am the face of Poppi, but the engine is driven by our team. Our 1.95 billion USD exit to PepsiCo made over forty-four of our employees millionaires, changing their lives.
