We are proud to have brought on expert investors and world-class advisors to join us on this journey.

    Our mission is to make healthy eating more accessible for everyone. We believe how someone fuels their body has a tremendous impact on all aspects of their life and therefore democratizing nutritionist curated smoothies will positively impact countless people across the globe.

    About our culture:

    The beauty of an early stage startup is that every member of the team has an imprint on the culture. We take pride in empowering each member on our team with a high level of ownership and the ability to run with their ideas.

If we have the resources, Zenblen will throw its support behind you each step of the way

    Most importantly, we promise an environment of highly motivated individuals who are aligned on our team's mission and who will run through walls on each other's behalf. We are all motivated to do the best we can and produce the highest achieving results possible, while also taking the time to truly get to know each other and laugh with one another. We hold ourselves to high expectations, but know the importance of slowing down to enjoy the happy moments of being a close-knit team who love to drink smoothies together
