There are gaps in every industry and human endeavor that disappear because we get used to doing the same things over and over again.
Identifying those gaps and exploiting the opportunities that they reveal is what entrepreneurs do. I’ve spent three decades hanging out with these champions of change. They never fail to inspire me.
Amy Dunlap is one of those entrepreneurs. She is working between two ends of the cut flower industry - the farmers and the wholesale dealers. Her business, Stemz, is a catalyst for uniting them together as a more locally coherent enterprise for providing cut flowers to local buyers.
Amy is another one of the founders who is working with Winston Starts to scale her business that I have had the privilege to interview.
