Pasta Evangelists - Finn Lagun

People Doing Things - A podcast by Ed Little

Meet Finn, co-founder & CMO of Pasta Evangelists, fresh pasta kits delivered to your door. Founded in 2016, they pride themselves on sourcing ingredients from small farmers and local growers in Italy. They went from selling 200 portions in their first year to more than 1 million 4 years later. Not bad.    The disruption and growth caught the attention of Barilla, the world's biggest pasta company, who recently bought a majority stake in the London based recipe box business for a rumoured £40mn. With the home kit category expected to grow to $9bn by 2025 and a big multinational backer behind them, expect more growth, expansion and innovation from the UK's most loved pasta maker. In this episode we talk about taking pasta to new heights, what acquisition really means and delve into the delicious story so far.
