Prior to the investment firm’s second annual Global Health Forum, we spoke with Ross Iverson, Brent Drever and Steve Young of Manna Tree for a trio of conversations about the urgency of making healthy and affordable food available to more people, why entrepreneurs are faced with shifting expectations for profitability and top line growth, their assessment of consumer confidence and spending and what emerging food trends are on their radar.

Jason Burke, founder and CEO of clean-ingredient meat snack and condiment brand The New Primal, discussed the demands of building a modern food brand, why he advises founders to embrace reliable business practices and a cautious retail strategy and how “the goalposts” have shifted when it comes to large CPG exits. He also stressed the importance of due diligence on potential investors and shared a moving story about his motivation to provide consumers with better food options.
