Meet the Panelists
Amir Mostafavi
Amir Mostafavi is the founder and CEO of South Block. Amir first fell in love with juicing while on a trip to Southern California back in 1998. He was unable to find that same freshness in DC. That was when he knew that it was time to bring the juice revolution to his own backyard! In 2004, Amir opened his first juice bar at George Washington University, this is where he refined his brand. In 2011, South Block was born in Clarendon, VA, making customers feel fantastic through quality healthy food, community, and the good vibes South Block serves up!
Myles Powell
Following a stint on “America’s Best Cook,” Myles Powell embarked on a new culinary adventure, crafting his own line of BBQ sauces. His love for unique flavors and desire to create something distinctive drove him to forge ahead in building a business from the ground up. What started with products being sold through his Etsy shop, now his brand can be found across the US in major retailer locations like Giant, Target, and Whole Foods.
Sarah Frimpong
Sarah Frimpong is the CEO and founder of Wellfound Foods, a brand that was once distributed via wholesale and now produces over 550,000 hand-packaged and hand-delivered meals to over 50 SmartMarkets in the DC/Baltimore region. Sarah is an innovator at her core. Her leadership and vision have allowed Wellfound Foods to execute a major pivot and now position itself as a disruptor in the legacy vending industry despite Sarah having no formal business or technical training. Sarah and her brand are dedicated to sustainability and embracing new technology!
