The Entrepreneur's Journey: Founders of Lick Ice Cream

"Ice cream was eaten, recipes were written, and the dream of honest ice cream began dancing in our heads."

Join us at Google Fiber as we sit down with partners Anthony Sobotik and Chad Palmatier—owners and founders of Lick Ice Creams—to learn about their entrepreneurial journey as food entrepreneurs!

For Anthony and Chad, honest ice creams means only using pure, wholesome ingredients from a local, family-owned dairy in Central Texas. From Cilantro Lime and Dewberry Corn Cobbler to Sweet Persimmon and Sage, Lick ice creams are inspired by and created with seasonal offerings from Texas. With everything made by scratch and by hand, it's no wonder why Lick was named one of the top 5 places to visit in Austin by the New York Times!

So what does it take grow a retail specialty store as small business owners? What should you keep in mind if you have dreams of entering the expansive grocery wholesale network? Come and pick the "sweet" brains of Anthony and Chad to find out!

StartOut has relaunched in the ATX! With fresh faces and seasoned entrepreneurs on our programming board, we are excited to offer you our inaugural event at Google Fiber!
