In 2009, Stephanie Redcross West found herself wanting more freedom and work that aligned more with her passion. She loved her 15-year corporate career in marketing for small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, but wanted to put her energy and skills to work on her own dream of making veganism accessible to everyone. She took the leap into entrepreneurship and Vegan Mainstream was born. The company–headquartered in Kissimmee, Florida with an international team–has been helping vegan entrepreneurs and business owners ever since. Vegan Mainstream provides hands-on training, advice and education for new and established vegan business owners. We offer free webinars, podcasts, business coaching, marketing consulting and multiple self-paced online courses. We work with authors, manufacturers, artists, chefs, personal trainers, coaches and all kinds of vegan entrepreneurs to help them launch and maintain successful vegan businesses. Vegan Mainstream is a unique space for entrepreneurs to connect, share, learn from, and celebrate each other. Since founding the company in 2009, Stephanie has established herself as a leading voice in the vegan business world. Through her work with Vegan Mainstream and ongoing speaking engagements, Stephanie has expanded the idea of what a vegan business is and can be. While most people instinctively think of vegan restaurants or food brands when they think of a vegan business, Vegan Mainstream believes that if we want to see veganism expand its reach, we need to acknowledge that people are what make a business special. A vegan business is defined by the intention behind and the people running the business. This means that any business operating with vegan values can be vegan. We need vegan carpenters, fashion designers, accountants, filmmakers, music producers, website designers and more. Vegan Mainstream is here to help lead those businesses to success.
