Baby food has come a long way since strained string beans, but Tracey Skelly saw good reason to take it further. Her homegrown upstart, The Little Cocoa Bean Co., helps busy parents introduce young ones to nourishing solid foods with diverse cultural traditions. Beyond that, her business supports young families in need by providing free food and other essentials. With the benefits from American Express’s 100 for 100 Program, Skelly plans to invest in staffing and other resources to scale her Boston-area business. In this video, she shares her unique mission and where she’s going next. Learn more about other Founders of Change and the 100 for 100 Program here.
