Good Folks, Doing Good Work

Show Notes

In this episode, we chatted with Andreas Idl, who is one of the co-founders of Cropster. Andreas shared the journey that led him and his co-founders to start Cropster, and how the business has evolved from an origin-focused software to a comprehensive platform supporting the entire coffee supply circle.

We also talked about being on both sides of a business acquisition and how coffee must mature as an industry to survive.

Enjoy my conversation with Andreas Idl.
