About this episode There are challenges faced by black founders that those who are not persons of color will never understand. However, the events of 2020, though tragic, helped propel these black founders to heights they had never imagined were possible for them. Quinton and Terran Lewis are two black founders who have experienced this. They began their startup, Herb’N Eden, in 2015. Herb’N Eden is an all natural plant-based bath and beauty company based out of the Atlanta area. At the end of 2019, Quinton and Terran headed into 2020 with hopes of closing $600,000 in product sales only to exceed that goal by 450%. In this episode, we discuss the unprecedented success that 2020 brought to these entrepreneurs. They also explain how this unforeseen growth actually brought some challenges to both their business and their personal lives. Quinton and Terrn experienced the challenges mentioned above, both of being black founders when most founders are white and those challenges brought on by the black community, as well. Tune in to hear their raw insights into this important topic. In this episode, you'll hear:  Quinton’s and Terran’s early experiences with entrepreneurism. How they both got interested in and transitioned to an urban farm environemnt. Where and how Herb’N Eden began. Why they decided to level up Herb’N Eden. What Herb’N Eden actually is. How they funded their startup as they grew from nothing. How they pulled off their first deal with a subscription box company and the growth it provided for them. How they maintained their idea to document everything despite the challenges they faced. What took place in 2020 that made it such an incredible year for Herb’N Eden. The production and customer service problems that arose with their massive growth this year. How to prepare for a multiplication in your company’s growth. The uphill battle of gaining awareness as a black business owner. The pressure they have received from the black commuity to not sell out to big brands.

Terran and Quinton Lewis, founders of Herb’N Eden

Their story started with the soap making kit. He left landscaping in 2015 for a more scalable business model. During the humble beginnings of Herb’N Eden, the co-founders experimented with over 15 varieties of soap before narrowing down the best proprietary blends. They went from 2 to 25 employees in five years, adding 23 of those employees in the last eight months riding the pandemic wave. Tips. Stay nimble (quick &amp; light), create content around your story from day one, Spend more on marketing, hire in and during economic waves, and create a system. Frenemies. Fear of spending, financial loans, COVID-19, and protest around black injustice. Contact: Herb'neden Instagram
