B2B and Beyond with Mable Founder Arik Keller

B2B E-Commerce sites can be a great channel to expand your business beyond your backyard. And a platform like Mable can serve as a bridge to growing into national distribution on your own terms.   In this episode, Sarah is joined by Arik Keller, Founder and CEO of Mable, the B2B wholesale platform designed to make it easy for grocery & convenience stores to easily discover and buy emerging, local brands.   In 2018, Arik bought a small corner store in New England. At the time it seemed like an easy break from technology start-ups, but he quickly learned how hard it was to discover & buy all the unique brands he wanted to bring into his store. And so in 2019, Mable was born and now connects thousands of stores across the country with unique, emerging grocery brands.   Sarah and Arik discuss: How Mable was born from Arik’s mission to get more Good Food on more shelves How his technology background shaped his approach to building out Mable’s B2B platform The difference between Mable and other B2B platforms The role distributors play in the food industry And what the near future holds for the company, and how they are expanding their business model to become a bridge between B2B and National Distribution   Mable will be joining us inside the Good Food CFO Community for a Live Q&A and Demo of the platform. This event is available only for Good Food CFO+ members.
