About the authors

Mike Stevens has played key roles in two of the most iconic start up-challenger brands in recent years: Innocent smoothies and Peppersmith plant-based chewing gum and mints. At Innocent, he built and ran their supply chain for six years before becoming a country manager and heading up the brand's launch in Scandinavia. In 2009 he co-founded Peppersmith. He now advises D2C food and drink businesses and is a mentor for Virgin Startup. He is based in Dorset, UK.
  • Very few books are both as inspiring and useful as this. Mike has looked beyond the glossy case histories to the real learning curves of success and failure in DTC and feeds the flame of our entrepreneurial spirit as he does so.
  • Adam Morgan, author of "Eating the Big Fish" and Founder and Partner, Eatbigfish
