Melissa Snover

Founder & CEO of Nourished and Scripted

Melissa Snover is an award winning entrepreneur and visionary in the food tech industry. Originally from New York and having studied Business Management and Political Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, Melissa moved to the UK to finish her studies at Lancaster University.

Shortly after this, aged 23, she co-founded a financial services company, which she then sold in 2009 so she could redirect her creative skills into confectionery. Following that, in 2010 she founded the company FTF Sweets Ltd, UK, also known as Goody Good Stuff, which is the world’s first vegan, natural and allergen-free fruit gum.

Then in 2015, she partnered with the successful German Katjes family corporation, so was able to immerse herself in the world of food technology and 3D printing, which has since led her to starting her current venture, Nourished – the world’s first truly personalised nutrition product. 

Still in her thirties, Ms. Snover has already won numerous awards and prizes for her business achievements, having been recognised as Innovator Award Winner 2019 at the Women in Tech Awards, Start Up Entrepreneur of the Year at the Nat-West GBEA in 2017 and Insider Magazine 100 Most influential Women 2014, to name a few. Nourished has also won multiple awards since launching late last year including Best Food Tech Innovation 2019 at the Food Matters Awards, Start-up Company of the Year 2019 at the Silicon Canal Awards and Supreme Champion at the Future Food Awards.
