#132 Plant-Based Milk, Powered by Data: How Drink Nimbus is Disrupting the Industry & Tackling Waste
Alexandra Bekker, founder of Drink Nimbus, is on a mission to shake up plant-based milk and the sustainability issues that come with it. After a highly successful eCommerce career, she discovered the shocking truth: 138 billion long-life cartons end up in landfill each year. So, she set out to create a better alternative.
In this episode, Alexandra shares how she:
🌱 Validated her oat milk powder concept through surveys and kitchen trials
🛠 Navigated supplier relationships and big MOQs to get production off the ground
📈 Built a scalable operational setup that’s taken Drink Nimbus into 100+ stores and countless homes
💰 Manages unit economics, cash flow, and digital ad spend with precision
🛍️ Avoided the Black Friday discount trap and turned it into a profit win
Alexandra’s eCommerce expertise and data-driven mindset make this a must-listen for food and drink brand owners looking to scale profitably.
