Rachel Mansfield: Culinary Creator and Co-Founder of Cadootz

Rachel Mansfield is a popular cooking content creator and the co-founder of Cadootz, a healthier-alternative kids’ snack brand that makes delicious protein-packed crackers for your little ones. She began her career working in PR for a top beverage company and, in her off time, ran a food blog to supplement her income, sharing original healthy recipes online and posting tutorials. When Mansfield was unexpectedly fired from her day job, she decided to put everything she had into growing her online presence. She amassed thousands of followers with each dish she shared, building a brand around making cooking less complicated for people who want to lead healthy lifestyles. Within months of losing her job, Mansfield grew her platform enough to monetize her content and turn her hobby into a full-time gig. Today, she has a cookbook under her belt (and another on the way), runs a venture capital firm called Grt Sht Ventures that allows her to invest in like-minded businesses, and leads an online community of more than a million followers. Plus, she just launched her newest culinary venture with Cadootz, a snack company that embodies her commitment to sharing better-for-you foods with families like hers.
