Today, I’m talking with Tero Isokauppila, a self-proclaimed Finnish nomad turned into a fungi lovin' foodpreneur, who built an 8-figure mushroom empire!
Tero capitalized on a time when the health and wellness industry was booming, marrying his family’s farming background with a market opportunity. And with that, Four Sigmatic was born.
As a 13th-generation family farmer, Tero’s exposure to mushrooms started a lot earlier than other kids. And throughout his life, mushrooms just kept popping up. Realizing some of their health benefits, Tero grew obsessed, experimenting and concocting herbs and natural products.
Today, Four Sigmatic is an omnichannel brand selling nutrient-dense, “really good for you” everyday magic products, like mushroom coffee and plant-based protein.
In this episode, you’re going to learn how a farm boy from Finland started and scaled an 8-figure mushroom coffee company that’s served over 100M customers, the risks and rewards of investing in the CPG category (both from a private equity and venture capital perspective, and Tero’s criteria for reducing risk and evaluating which companies to invest in.
