against some incredible brands that we watched quite closely.
Winning Lion's Den is an acknowledgment of the work we
have put in and what we know we can be."

"To be fair the other teams were fantastic and they were
far ahead of us in terms of domestic sales but our company
is based on export. So we've had to invest time-consuming
into seeing how the export works and to see
if we can get it to scale."

- Kevin Kennedy, Founder of Anú Dairy, 2017 Winner

“Winning first prize has totally transformed our business by
gaining placements in some of Europe’s largest retailers
in Ireland, the UK, Belgium and Germany. I would highly
recommend any start up food business to participate."

- Noreen Doyle, Co-founder of The Irish Biltong Co., 2016 Winner
