Tximista Lizarazu, the Co-Founder and CEO of Fraîche steps back on to the New York Launch Pod. Since the last time Tximista was on the podcast, a lot has changed for Fraîche . Fraîche is an innovative vending machine that delivers fresh food to offices, catering to companies as they return to the office and seek to attract talent. Tximista explains that Fraîche has experienced tremendous growth, multiplying their revenue by ten in just nine months. They have achieved this with a small sales team and are now looking to close an extension round to hire additional sales reps and continue their expansion. Tximista highlights a few reasons behind their rapid growth, including the booming return-to-office trend and the need for new perks to make the office an exciting place.

Lindsay Liu, Founder of Super, steps on to the New York Launch Pod to discuss her new property management platform. Lindsay was on the board of her own Co-Op and was frustrated by the way the building was operating (and not because of the people). Lindsay’s building was using a hodgepodge of software (if any), sending out physical mailings, and keeping track of important building documents on Lindsay’s own personal Google Drive. Lindsay did some research and found out that her building wasn’t alone. Like any good entrepreneur Lindsay set out to solve a problem that she encountered herself. Listen to the podcast to find out how Lindsay built Super and how she wants to help all Co-Ops and Condos run better. More on Super: https://www.hiresuper.com/…
