Where The Dogs Of Society Howl
Startup culture loves one kind of ending: The glossy one. The big exit. The polished founder post dressed up as humility. But that is not how most businesses end. This week on Where the Dogs of Society Howl, we’re joined by Alison Cayne, founder of Haven’s Kitchen, founder of Choulie, and host of In the Sauce. Alison built Haven’s Kitchen from a Manhattan cooking school into a nationally recognized CPG brand in more than 5,000 stores. She’s also spent years talking with founders about the real side of brand-building, not just the version people post after a raise. Now, with Choulie, she’s building again with a sharper point of view and a different kind of clarity. We’re getting into: What it really took to build Haven’s Kitchen What happened when the company came to an end What Alison learned from an exit that was not the one startup culture glorifies What years of founder conversations taught her and what it means to build again with less fantasy and more truth Because the best founder lessons do not only come from the victory laps. Sometimes they come from what people usually edit out. This one is honest, sharp, and very real.
