Panelists:
Kathryn Bernell '18 a current Kellogg MBA student who is the founder of reBLEND, a smoothie business that delivers products which not only taste good, but do good too via functional smoothies that deliver the fuel people need to better win their day. Each nutrient dense smoothie radically tackles food loss by using delicious misshapen produce that unescecarily would go to waste. We craft our functional smoothie blends with fruits and vegetables that are frozen at their peak ripeness so that all you have to do is dump the pouch in a blender, add liquid, and reBLEND!

FlyHomes' technology, partnerships, and team-based approach allows homebuyers to take on-demand tours, close within 7-days, and regularly win offers more often and at a lower price than using a traditional real estate firm.
