How it all began…

In 2018, siblings Viktoria and Jakob Janzen from Kehl had a vision:

To focus on a healthy diet and offer high-quality products that provide a nutrient-rich alternative to artificially produced foods. 🌱

This means the products are natural, without refined sugar and without additives. 🌱 There was still a lot of catching up to do in the dried fruit sector, as at the time there were only a few manufacturers offering delicious dried fruit without added sugar.

So Viktoria and Jakob founded the e-commerce startup Janzen Ventures GmbH. Viktoria, aka Vicky, takes care of warehouse management, product graphic design, and customer support. A coffee lover and super empathetic person, Vicky is known for ensuring that suppliers are also supplied with sufficient coffee. She also enjoys supporting local businesses with regular visits. ☕️🍷🥙 In her free time, she enjoys hiking⛰, mountain biking 🚵‍♀️, and playing tennis.🏋️‍♀️She also volunteers for the German Child Protection Association as a family and education mentor.

Jakob, a passionate about structure, is responsible for all management activities, purchasing, business customer relations, Amazon marketing, and accounting. He steers the company in the right direction. Jakob is very close to nature🌿, enjoys mountain biking🚵‍♂️, plays tennis, and in the winter, he enjoys skiing.⛷

The team, which originally consisted of just the two siblings, quickly expanded to include another member: Fabian, a former classmate who studied economics with Jakob at the University of Hohenheim. Fabian works on IT structures and production planning. In his free time, he enjoys cycling🚴 or going for a run. He also discovered surfing during his summer vacations in France, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.🏄

They also receive remote support from Silvia, another former classmate. Silvia is responsible for marketing and product management. In addition to Instagram, she also oversees the website design and content on Amazon. She can also finally indulge her love of her own recipe ideas with us. When she's not busy creating photos for Instagram or creating content, she also enjoys being creative in her own kitchen 👩🏻‍🍳 and enjoys doing yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️

We, four team members, complement each other perfectly in all areas of a company. 😊

In order to create more jobs in the region, our team will be strengthened by four additional friendly employees in the areas of bottling and warehouse logistics.

Today, we offer freeze-dried fruits, fruit powders, muesli, and superfoods in a wide variety of variations and packaging sizes at fair prices. 🍓🍒🍌🥥🍍

Have fun discovering our products! 😊

Best wishes💕
