In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with Mandy Lonzano, Chief Development Officer of Spoke Sciences, Inc.

Mandy understands the growing demand for plant-based products, especially in the food and beverage and beauty industries. However, it is common knowledge that these companies face significant industry issues that stem from plant-based compounds. Many have failed to incorporate functional plant-derived ingredients into their water formulations. As a result, solubility, stability and taste issues would arise.

Mandy explains how technologies from Spoke Science can create water-dispersible versions of insoluble plant compounds and make them applicable in the food and beverage and beauty industry. She shares their patented portfolio of solutions derived from decades of experience in the formulation of complex pharmaceutical, personal care and food products.

Working independently or in collaboration with customers, Mandy and her team of seasoned industry professionals are dedicated to solving solubility issues, adding product benefits and increasing customer satisfaction. They are also working on bio-oriented advances for mental health.
