摘要
Dive into the extraordinary growth story of Pasta Evangelists, a London-based company that's revolutionizing the pasta market in the UK beyond. From humble beginnings in a basement, Cofounder and CMO Finn Lagun (Forbes 30 Under 30) and his team have built a multi-faceted business, now poised for global expansion.
Finn Lagun's vision for a luxury pasta subscription box service was dismissed by investors as "delusional" shortly after launching in 2016. Undaunted, Lagun and his cofounders grew the business to $26 million in revenue in 2021, opened a London restaurant, and were acquired by Barilla, the world's largest pasta maker for £40 million.
