Founder, Zimms Organics

UDavid Zimmerman, umsunguli weZimms, waqala lo mkhiqizo ngemuva kokunqoba ukuxilongwa okunzima kweCrohn’s Disease. Wayekhubazekile ngemuva kokuhlala ezibhedlela izinyanga eziningi, futhi walahlekelwa ngaphezu kuka-70% wegazi emzimbeni wakhe ngobusuku obubodwa. Odokotela bamtshela ukuthi uzobe esemithini impilo yakhe yonke, kodwa lokho kwakungeyona ingxenye yecebo lakhe. Ngemuva kokuthi umzimba wakhe uzinzile, waqala ukusebenza. Iminyaka eminingi, wacwaninga ngomzimba womuntu (futhi wazilungisa yena ngokwakhe), ngenkathi efunda ngohlelo lokudla e-U.S. Wathola ukuthi izimo eziningi ezingapheli (IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, Diabetes, Heart Disease, njll.) zazingekho ngaphambi kokuba ukudla kwenziwe izimboni maphakathi nawo-1900. Wathola izinzuzo zokuphulukisa zamafutha omnqumo we-extra virgin organic asezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezakhiwo zawo ezilwa nokuvuvukala. Waqala ukusebenzisa amafutha omnqumo amaningi asezingeni eliphezulu futhi wabona ushintsho ezimpawini zokuvuvukala emzimbeni wakhe. Lolu shintsho olulula lokudla, kanye nezinye izindlela eziningi zokuphila kahle ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo azamukelayo, kwasiza uDavid ukuba ayeke imithi unomphela (futhi akakayisebenzisi imithi yasentshonalanga kusukela ngo-2018). Washiya umsebenzi wakhe wokweluleka izinkampani e-BCG, futhi wethula umkhiqizo wamafutha omnqumo asezingeni eliphezulu ngoZibandlela 2019, ngaphambi nje kokuba i-COVID igale. UDavid wayengafuni ukuthi ulwazi lwakhe lube phambili emkhiqizweni, ngoba wayesafihla le ngxenye yobuwena bakhe emhlabeni. Ukwabelana ngalendaba njengomgomo womkhiqizo kwakumenza abe sengozini kakhulu, ngakho wethula umkhiqizo ngaphansi kwegama elithi Herb & Olive.

Ngemuva kokukhulisa umkhiqizo ube ngaphezu kwezitolo ezingama-80 e-U.S, uDavid wagcina esezethembile ngaphandle kwamahloni esimo esibi asinqobayo. Wakhuthazwa ukuzethemba nokwethembeka kwentsha eminingi kanye nabathonyi bezenhlalakahle ayesebenza nabo. Isikhathi nomsebenzi othembekile kumsizile ukuphulukisa. Lokhu kuzethemba nokwethemba kungumongo nesisekelo sokwakhiwa kweZimms Organics.

Uhlobo lomkhiqizo lwe-Zimms Organics lugxile ohambweni lwezempilo nokuphila kahle kukaDavid. Wathola ngomkhiqizo wakhe wangaphambili (Herb & Olive), ukuthi amakhasimende ayinhloko ayenentshisekelo ezinzuzweni ezifanayo zokwelapha zemvelo azithola ukuze aphilise umzimba wakhe. Wayefuna ukugxilisa igama elisha nokwakheka komkhiqizo ezempilweni nokuphila kahle, kuyilapho enekhono lokukhula ezinye izindlela zokwelapha ngaphandle kukawoyela womnqumo ngokuzayo. Sisebenzise ukwakheka komkhiqizo ukusho ngokucacile ukuthi yini le mikhiqizo, nokuthi isetshenziselwani.
