From SAAS to Snacks with Jayne Ronayne (OAC Snacks | Talivest)

My guest today is Jayne Ronayne, Co-Founder and CEO of OAC Snacks, an e-commerce company focusing on high protein snacks that are simple, delicious and made for real life.

Jayne previously founded employee experience platform Talivest, which raised over €3 million in its lifetime (from some very big named investors) and was acquired by the Australian tech company Go1 in 2022.

In this chat, Jayne talks about:

• Why she’s turning her back on the business “holy grail” of SAAS, and getting into the difficult & competitive food industry

• Starting and Growing Talivest to a successful exit

• Why she views being dyslexic as an advantage in business

• Burnout, fund raising, and the importance of healthy food in our lives.

• Much more
