Earlier this year, I met Christian, a student of Service at The Royal College of Art. What it started as a conversation of business ideas, is now becoming a start-up.<\/p>\n

We’re launching GoalBowl<\/a>. This is a breakfast mix subscription, tailor-made to your personal health and wellbeing goals. We match healthy ingredients to your goals based on their key nutrients and health benefits. This results in a tasty bowl made specially for you.<\/p>\n

We’re working following the lean start-up approach<\/a>. We make sure that we work close to customers and their needs. With this in mind and with the support of the Enterprise lab at Imperial<\/a>, we set our first booth at Sherfield building. We interacted with university stuff and students to learn about their interests in our service.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By working closely with potential clients, we’re able to provide a better targeted product. Getting immediate feedback and impressions from people around you is a great way to start.<\/p>\n

If you’re a student at Imperial, you can participate in our one week trial. Drop your email on our website<\/a> and we will follow up with you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You can also follow our startup journey on social media: Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n
