My next goal is to get to 10,000 subscribers by the end of the year and I’d really appreciate your help. Onward!

Ooshma Garg is one of the grittiest founders you’ll ever hear about.

She is the Founder and CEO of Gobble, a company that makes and delivers 15-minute dinner kits, and that was acquired in 2022 for a reported 9-figure amount.

Paul Graham, Co-Founder of Y Combinator, described her as “Relentlessly resourceful” and as someone who “Does not give up.”

Sam Altman, who I previously wrote about, said Ooshma was one of his favorite founders.

It’s easy to see why.

After starting Gobble in 2010, Ooshma changed her business model four times before eventually finding product-market fit and, before that massive exit, she navigated an industry that had soured for years after a deflated IPO from Blue Apron in 2017.

Through all of it, the ups and the downs, she persisted.

Let’s get to it.
