If you have a vegan business, you have found your tribe

This is where all the magic happens at Vegan Business Tribe!
At our vegan business clinics, we spend an hour with a small group of members to talk about what problems they have in their business right now – and usually, as a group, we solve them! Watch back November’s clinic where we were joined by Emma from Vegan Adventure Holidays, Ellie from Vojo, Dr Laura from Plant Based Health Online and Adam from Green Beets Kitchen.

The link between the food on a child’s plate and the animal that it was is often hidden (do we even need to mention dinosaur meat and unicorn nuggets?) and finding positive children’s characters that talk about veganism is hard.  Tina has made the perfect book for both vegan and non-vegan children, and in this interview she shares all her experience of self-publishing – from finding an illustrator to how she has dealt with opposition from non-vegan parents.

As vegans, we are looking for a better balance between ourselves and the animals we live alongside. But what does that mean when some of those animals take up residence in your home or business? Lisa speaks with Kevin Newell, founder of Humane Wildlife Solutions, about how he created a business that is a vegan alternative to ‘pest control’.

Recorded live as part of VegfestUK online, in this video David gets right back to basics of how to find customers. It doesn’t matter if you sell a physical product, or if you offer a vegan service, or even if you are a charity looking for donations – we all rely on people giving us their money and to have a successful vegan business and we all need to get better at finding them!

The pandemic has brought about many changes to our lives, but it has also made more people examine their relationship with animal products. As supermarkets close their meat counters and companies who embrace plant-based products generate huge profits, we look at some of the numbers behind this shift and what that means for vegan businesses.

One Planet Pizza’s mission isn’t just to make and sell really great pizza – their mission is to help make the world a better place, one crust at a time. Lisa speaks with Mike Hill, co-owner of One Planet Pizza, about how they developed the pizzas, the concept and how they are engaging with the vegan community to conduct their business in a fun, healthy and eco-friendly way.

Not only are we vegans a lovely bunch of people who want to help create a vegan world with our vegan businesses, but we also want to raise each other up. We know that we can achieve more together, and this is true not only as a movement but in our businesses also. Lisa takes a look at how you can grow your company by collaborating with other vegan businesses.

Supporting each other as vegan entrepreneurs and business owners is at the core of Vegan Business Tribe. Watch October’s members’ networking session in full, including Mike from One Planet Pizza, Victoria from Happy Carrot Skincare, and many more great vegan businesses.
