What does it take to leave a successful finance career and build a company in a market that doesn't yet exist?

Today on All About Business, I'm joined by Timo Bolt, founder and CEO of Gustav, the recipe box company he launched in 2012 at the very beginning of the meal kit category in the UK.

We'll explore how Gusto helped pioneer a new way of buying and cooking food, how technology and AI underpin its highly personalized model, and why Timo believes food companies will become preventative health businesses in the future.

So I'd like to start our conversation really by giving you an opportunity to describe what Gusto does and why you started this wonderful business.

No, it should, it should.

Right.

Didn't get an internship.

So you worked in Goldman Sachs?

No, I didn't.

So I didn't even get an internship.

I didn't get an internship.

These are people you're living with?

Oh, I see.

Did you know that there are nearly 1 million 18 to 24-year-olds who are currently not in education, employment, or training in the UK?
