Startup Stories - Amanda Falconer (Bestie Kitchen)

Self-proclaimed foodie and dog-parent, Amanda Falconer founded Bestie Kitchen to keep her dogs fed healthier, nutritious food which would help them live longer lives. She began her journey in her kitchen with a compounding chemist, trying to create foods using natural nutraceutical supplements. Eventually she created her ‘Health Jellies’, which are research-based, vet-formulated daily health jellies, which support a dog from pup to senior.

Amanda began working with CSIRO under the Kick-Start program to create a product at scale. She’s since been awarded commercialisation funding from the Federal Government's Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC) with a total project commitment of $344,850 and $149,925 provided in co-funding. These funds will establish a manufacturing line and finalise the development of the gummy chews, all from their new location in Mayfield West.

Join this Startup Stories on 6 October 2021 from 8.00 AM AEDT, and hear Amanda’s inspiring story and how she’s building Bestie Kitchen to be a well-known, trusted and used brand of therapeutic supplements that's making a real difference in the lives of pets and pet parents in Australia and Asian markets.
