Duke University Recognizes Liam Frumkin For His Entrepreneurial Journey!

Union Kitchen Accelerator Member Liam Frumkin, founder of Ahav, was spotlighted in Duke Today, where he shared his inspiring story and journey into entrepreneurship. Liam's story began when he opened up about his struggles with an eating disorder. This opened the flood gates so to speak as Liam became a beacon of hope for others, and developed a clean ingredient cookie dough that would revolutionize the snacking game! 

After his first year at Duke, Liam knew he had something special, and needed to know what to do next to make his dream of building a brand a reality - it was time to move to Washington DC to work with the Union Kitchen Accelerator Team! The article states, "Instead of Duke classes, Frumkin had a crash course in product development. With Union Kitchen providing kitchen space, suppliers and expertise, Frumkin learned about recipes, packaging, production scaling and marketing." Liam worked with our team to develop a mission, vision, and actionable strategy for his brand. He then launched a market ready product, started working with our distribution, and getting connected with local customers in our stores. 

Liam entered the market with a BANG! After going viral on TikTok, Ahav shattered the $150,000 dollar milestone only two months after launch. By leveraging Union Kitchen resources he was able to rapidly scale his manufacturing process to meet the new demand for his delicious nutricious cookie dough bites. By owning his manufacturing and taking a phased and sustainable approach to growth, Liam is following in the footsteps of other powerhouse Union Kitchen brands such as Snacklins and Maspanadas. Liam's story is a powerful one of resilience, ingenuity, and hardwork and we can't wait to see him continue to grow!
