Building Faith Through the Startup Process

Convene Podcast

Josh Wilbur doesn't maintain the status quo. He seeks to push the boundaries of our preconceived ideas around the staples of our lives (payment processing, Bibles, coffee). A serial entrepreneur, Josh has been involved in the startup process of various organizations in his life before being called to work in the church.

While on his "sabbatical" from the business world, Josh served at a local Bay Area church until the itch of entrepreneurship came back when he realized there wasn't a good single-serve coffee option that didn't require a machine. Making good coffee while traveling always required too much gear, and drinking bad coffee isn't appealing to anyone. Josh sought a solution, and through that process invented Steeped Coffee bags.

Again, Josh jumped into the startup world to launch Steeped Coffee on Kickstarter. Steeped has now partnered with many specialty coffee roasters around the world along with the likes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to bring good tasting, waste-free single-serve coffee to the world.

In this episode of the Convene Podcast, Josh shares about his journey through the startup world, the role his faith plays in his work, and his experience starting a company again with a firmer vision for a way to use it to glorify God.
