FYN Hummus (with Anik Thaler, Fyn Co-Founder)
Fyn foods brings the nature back on your plate. Fyn offers alternatives to widely-traveled products, promoting the Swiss agricultural variety with new chickpea cultures, drastically reducing the transportation impacts and fostering the connection with local farmers. Fyn provides you the first locally grown and 100% organic Swiss Hummus.

Desta's Coffee (with Mattias Winiger & Desta Kebede)
Desta’s Coffee imports coffee directly from its origin: the region of Kafa, in Ethiopia. To ensure farmers' fair incomes, we pay them directly and no middle man are involved. Part of the profits are reinvested in local social projects (bread for students) to make sure that up to 30% of the value chain stays in the country.
In Switzerland we roast and distribute the coffee to restaurants, hotels and offices.
