Tortilleria Zepeda

Heidi left her home state of Wisconsin in 2013 to seek adventure south of the border in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There she met her husband, Julian Zepeda, who was working as a Marine Biologist and a few years later they moved to the United States. They decided to set roots in Madison, Wisconsin near Heidi’s hometown of Spring Green. Disappointed with the lack of “authentic Mexican” tacos in Madison, Julian quickly realized the reason behind the missing Mexican authenticity , was the tortilla. He then asked Heidi, “With fields upon, fields of beautiful corn in Wisconsin, why is no one making fresh corn tortillas?” She responded, “great question!” This is how it all started… In 2018, they quickly got to work. During Julian’s childhood and into adulthood, he spent hours in the kitchen observing and helping his grandmother and mother prepare traditional dishes. He already had quite a knack for preparing food and knew with the support of his family only a Skype call away, he was confident he could recreate the authentic style tortilla he grew up to love. Last year he furthered his education by participating in an apprenticeship in Mexico City and Guadalajara with leading “tortilleros” in the country who taught him how to perfect pre-hispanic nixamalization process to create the most authentic Mexican tortilla possible. https://tortilleriazepeda.com/

Boosted Chews

It all began with Aditya chugging over four iced mochas a day, and Kit hunting for a tasty sip to slurp on. We wondered, “We’re engineers, what if we just made our own drinks?” Thus, our hallmark product: Boosted Juice! But the world wasn’t ready for it, so we pivoted to our real hallmark product: Boosted Fruit Snacks! But this time, we weren’t ready for it. We needed something small and flavorful, something that we could quickly snack on and get energized in one fell bite. That’s when we came up with the real real hallmark product: BOOSTED CHEWS! Since November 2019, we’ve been creating a delicious bite sized caffeinated chocolate chew capable of boosting you up to get you through the day. https://www.boostedchews.com

The Classic Shoppe

So it all started when our founder was shopping in a popular contemporary store one day and an overwhelming sense of frustration set in. As she flipped through rack after rack, she became more and more fed up with not being able to find what she was looking for; not one thing represented her. She did not want to wear something with a band she never listened to or a face of someone that she really did not have that much in common with, just because the colors matched what was needed to complete an outfit. And when she did find a rare gem with a person or a quote with whom she could identify, it seemed like it was the same person or quote, just served up different ways.
