JUX Food’s Post

I sometimes get asked: "where does the name JUX come from?" The answer isn't particularly exciting - just quite nerdy. 🤓 I wanted the name to be a one-word, quirky and memorable name: something I think Wild, TRIP and Lick have achieved very well. When developing the concept of JUX, I found an intriguing piece of McKinsey & Company research that found the modern consumer was juxtaposed: they wanted the immediacy and convenience of 'fast food', as well as the sustainability and health benefits of 'slow food'. This is the exact solution that JUX Food provides consumers. I can also see this juxtaposition reflected within the business. One of our points of difference - our dehydration technology - is technical and complicated. Yet it creates a completely pure, 100% natural product. As I said - not a particularly exciting answer. But I think 'JUX' perfectly captures what we're all about! #startup #consumer #entrepreneurship

Navigating Startup Challenges: Packaging Edition Starting a business is an exhilarating journey, but it’s not without its challenges. One of the toughest yet most exciting parts of launching a product is finding the perfect packaging. As a small startup, balancing creativity, functionality, and cost-effectiveness can feel like solving a complex puzzle. Packaging isn’t just about holding the product—it’s your first impression, your brand identity, and, sometimes, the deciding factor for customers. Here’s what I’ve learned so far: 📦 Cost vs. Quality: High-quality packaging can elevate a product but often comes with a higher price tag. Finding a solution that aligns with your budget and resonates with your audience is key. 🌍 Sustainability Matters: Consumers are increasingly eco-conscious. Sustainable packaging can set you apart—but requires careful planning to avoid breaking the bank. 🔄 Adaptability: Sometimes the first choice won’t work, and that’s okay. Exploring different materials, designs, or manufacturers can lead to unexpected solutions. For my startup, we’re exploring options like aluminum cans and other sustainable containers to ensure our product remains shelf-stable, functional, and appealing. It’s a journey of trial, error, and learning—and one that so many entrepreneurs face. If you’re in the same boat, I’d love to hear how you’ve navigated the packaging challenge.

Happy New Month Taking the leap to build something new has been an incredible journey and eye-opener. The tech world moves fast, and the challenge of creating something people genuinely want is real but that’s what makes it so exciting! Inspired by the simplicity of food delivery and ride-hailing apps, I started thinking: why can't other essential services, like laundry, be that easy and seamless? We’re working to change that. What everyday tasks do you think could use a fresh, tech-driven approach? 🚀 Let’s brainstorm! #TechForGood #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #StartupLife #FutureOfLogistics #DigitalTransformation #TechTrends

Ever had that “Aha!” moment? 🚀 I was deep in thought, searching for a startup idea that I felt could change the game. I was thrilled when an idea hit me—it felt revolutionary! But as I began researching, I discovered that it was already out there. 😅 That’s when I realized: you don’t always need to invent something entirely new. Sometimes, the key is to take existing ideas and improve on them. The real magic lies in making something better, not always starting from scratch. Keep innovating and refining! 💡 Found this useful?

Your daily reminder to just start somewhere! Perfection is the enemy of progress. Almost everything has changed since we launched our first products a couple of years ago (thank goodness we don't design our own packaging on PowerPoint anymore!). The only thing that has remained constant in all three of these images below is the same patented active ingredient and the dose we used, arguably the most important thing! It's better to start somewhere than be paralysed by the pursuit of perfection. Ps. a great product will always shine through, even without a branding / design budget in the early days. #CPG #Ecommerce #startup #entrepreneuer

Color: Embracing Adaptation in the Face of Adversity 🎨 Color: A Case Study in Failure to Adapt Color emerged onto the startup scene with grand aspirations to revolutionize mobile photo-sharing. Armed with substantial funding, the company aimed to carve out a niche in a crowded market. However, Color's oversight lay in its failure to pivot and adapt in the face of adversity. 🔍 The Oversight: Despite facing challenges with user adoption and a confusing user interface, Color neglected to iterate on its product or adjust its strategy accordingly. ⚰️ The Demise: As a result of its inability to adapt, Color faded into obscurity, unable to compete with more agile competitors in the market. 🔄 Lesson Learned: The story of Color serves as a stark reminder of the importance of agility and adaptability in the startup ecosystem. Let us embrace change and remain open to iterating on our ideas, for therein lies the path to sustainable success. #Agility #Entrepreneurship #Adaptation

While thinking for an idea for a startup, we usually think about solving a market problem. Basically checking that is there any demand for such product/service. However, one should also think in the initial stages of ideation that what is the growth and sustainability model of such product/service is. Usually it is checked after we figure out the product. Rather than testing and trying why not research it well ahead that if such a market exist for our product/service that it not only grows but sustains in the future. Another thing that young entrepreneurs fail to calculate due to the excitement of solving a market problem is the fact that their product/service will only be a one time use or there will be permanent users for it. Or that they would have to keep upgrading product or let the same product/service run their market and revenue. These forecasts need to be made before fixing on the business idea as it is a waste of time to go and try to capture the market with improper insights and wasting time and resources in a business idea which is good for growth and sustainability.
