This week on Funded Futures, Emily sits down with the brilliant Kate Save - dietitian, exercise physiologist, diabetes educator, serial entrepreneur, Shark Tank alum, and co-founder of Be Fit Food.
From surfing on the Mornington Peninsula to scaling a company that’s changing the way Australians approach health, Kate’s story is one of relentless curiosity, resilience, and razor-sharp purpose.
In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, we cover:
The life-altering moment that sparked her mission to treat food as medicine
How she went from seven casual jobs to multiple degrees and founding two companies
The reality of pitching (and surviving) Shark Tank Australia
Why equity crowdfunding was the right fit for Be Fit Food—and how she raised during one of the hardest times of her life
The powerful role of values-aligned investors and customer communities
How she’s bringing personalised nutrition to the masses, from pharmacies to DNA-based health
What it means to lead with purpose, even through profound personal loss
Kate’s story is proof that building a business with purpose isn’t just possible, it’s essential. Whether you're a founder, investor, or health-conscious listener, this conversation is packed with insight, warmth, and a hefty dose of entrepreneurial grit.
