Entrepreneur Spotlight. Meet Amber Benson, entrepreneur, creator, co-founder and president of Ruvi. Ruvi was born from the process of freeze drying large quantities of fruits and vegetables. Amber and co-founder Jason Budge discovered the powder at their previous company while freeze-drying large quantities of fruits and vegetables. They were determined to create a new vertical for nutrition and not waste the residual powder. It turns out that when fruits and vegetables are in a state of being freeze-dried, the powder contains the same incredible nutrients and doubles as an easy-to-use convenient way to get your daily fruits and veggies. Amber started researching the benefits of the powdered fruits and vegetables while also looking at the statistics around consumption and whether the powder could meet those needs. That is when Amber and Jason pushed the idea from testing into launch mode. They learned in early market testing that people experience benefits within days of consuming these fruit & veggie powders – better energy, better sleep, improved digestion, just to name a few. They were surprised and ecstatic with these results. Ruvi is pretty unique, – it’s literally just fruits & veggies. It’s easy, portable, and convenient, which isn’t always the case with produce. Did you know, that the U.S. fruit & vegetable market is estimated at $100 billion in 2024 9 of 10 people don’t eat enough fruits & vegetables! Even more, 97% in the U.S. are not eating enough fiber, which leads to chronic illness and disease. 1 of 3 people in the U.S. are prediabetic, 1 of 10 are diabetic with 90-95% Type 2. It's time for a real change! Ruvi has 5 fruit & vegetable blends with 30 different plants. Because of the freeze dry technology, there are no preservatives, additives, sweeteners, or sugars. If you're ready for one of the most fundamental steps to health, start here. Amber and the Ruvi team are my pick for the entrepreneurs of the week. ##riseandgrind #entrepreneurs #wintheday #historymakers Amber Benson Jason Budge Mike Schmidt Ruvi
