b'Vanessa Torrivilla never envisioned a future in the food world. A UI/UX design pro, she started dating a serious foodie named Joe Ariel who missed some of his favorite local eats from his college days, and soon the idea for Goldbelly started to materialize: \\u201cI went from wanting to help my boyfriend with some free design to caring about this from a very deep place,\\u201d she says. \\n\\n\\u201cThis\\u201d is now a powerhouse food marketplace with almost 1,000 brands represented on its platform, and Vanessa is co-founder + chief product and creative officer. She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the company\\u2019s start-up days, how they\\u2019ve raised more than $133 million in funding from folks including Danny Meyer, and why culinary superstars like Ina Garten, Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, and Mashama Bailey have joined the Goldbelly family. \\n\\nVanessa also shares her professional pivots, why she studied engineering in college, how her creative awakening came about, and why her mother\\u2019s advice about joy still resonates with her today. \\n\\nThank you to OpenTable for supporting today\\u2019s episode. \\n\\nMarch 1st is the deadline to subscribe and get all four 2024 issues! \\n\\nHosted by Kerry Diamond\\nProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu\\nEdited by Jenna Sadhu\\nEditorial Assistant Londyn Crenshaw\\nRecorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center\\n\\nRadio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
