Tom Simmons is the CEO of Supplant, which produces a sugar alternative made from plant fibers. He was accepted into Y Combinator and adjusted his pitch to focus on a quick business sell. This premium story was unlocked by Amazon.

At the time, Simmons said he had just enough money in the bank to file patents but not enough to get much further."If we hadn't gotten in at that point, our success would've been a totally different story," Simmons said.

"It's a food product. People need to taste it, and they need to feel it. I know that they liked that a lot, to be able to see something tangible," Simmons said.

 

汤姆·西蒙斯是Supplant的首席执行官,该公司生产一种由植物纤维制成的替代糖。他被Y Combinator录取,并调整了自己的定位,专注于快速的业务销售。 亚马逊解锁了这个高级故事。
