","story":"The feeding struggle Most parents can relate to the rule of three: for every 3 meals, your child will eat one, play with one, and ignore the other. In fact, feeding young children is a daily struggle for millions of parents. Challenges include accidental spills and messes, rapidly changing tastes, and frequent (and exhausting!) power struggles. We knew there had to be a solution to provide parents with tools to create more positive feeding experiences for both the parent and the child. The solution: the parent provides, the child decides The Division of Responsibility in Feeding encourages parents to provide the what, when, and where of feeding and let the child determine how much and whether to eat what the parent provides. The Original Snack Spinner is based on this concept; it encourages intuitive eating and helps make healthy eating fun. It is the only snack container with a push button that provides a FUN, safe, and mess-free way to enjoy a variety of foods! The Snack Spinner fosters a positive, parent-child relationship. Good bye, power struggles. Hello, happy smiles for mama and child!\u0026nbsp;A solution kids love, backed by scienceDecades of extensive research shows that\u0026nbsp;choice and autonomy\u0026nbsp;are key to children forming a positive relationship with food. This also helps guard against future eating disorders and obesity.We’ve heard from thousands of parents that the GoBe Original Snack Spinner has helped their child become a more competent eater. We've used this same design philosophy to expand beyond snack time, launching several\u0026nbsp;new products, with more to come!So much more than a fun Snack SpinnerProduct innovation is at our core. We design every GoBe product to be fun, fascinating, simple, and colorful. Using them feels like playing, and there is intrinsic reward to every choice the child makes. We have big plans to launch at least 6 more products within the next year. And in case you were curious, every GoBe product is\u0026nbsp;patent protected.\u0026nbsp;TractionGoBe is growing! In our first year we had revenue of $300,000, which more than\u0026nbsp;doubled\u0026nbsp;in 2020. Over the last four years sales have continued to trend up. We did more than\u0026nbsp;$4.5M in revenue\u0026nbsp;in the year 2023 alone, and we anticipate $10M in 2024.We have the best customers ever!GoBe customers are essential to our journey.

GoBe's Original Snack Spinner has gone viral on Instagram and TikTok and been called a ‘must have’ by thousands of moms and dads. It has thousands of reviews and an average\u0026nbsp;4.5 star rating on Amazon.\u0026nbsp;We have hundreds of rave reviews that show how the GoBe develops\u0026nbsp;fine motor skills,\u0026nbsp;eliminates snack-time negotiations, and encourages picky eaters to try something new.Business model: 6,000 stores in 3 yearsIn addition to consistent online growth, our partnership with Legacy Retail has facilitated exciting affiliations with all four retail giants:\u0026nbsp;Sam's Club, Walmart, Costco, and Target.
