How did Julia Collins, a three-time founder and the only Black woman in history to found a unicorn, create a new venture that channels her passion for joy, food, radical inclusion and regenerative agriculture? Her company, Planet FWD, makes it easier for food brands to create climate friendly products through a software platform that simplifies the search for sustainable, regenerative and climate-friendly ingredients. Planet FWD also owns the software platform's first client, a climate-friendly cracker brand called Moonshot Snacks that launched in January 2021.

Before that, Julia helped found and build Zume Pizza, which raised over $400 million and achieved unicorn valuation above $1B.
