Series 2: Shark Tank
Ep. 190 - Kent Yoshimura - Neuro Gum
In 2015, Kent co-founded Neuro — a functional confectionary brand revolutionizing the consumable supplement space. With over 15 million pieces sold since Neuro???s successful Indiegogo campaign, the company has been featured in TIME magazine, Dr. Oz, Forbes, The New Yorker, Buzzfeed, Shark Tank, The Joe Rogan Podcast, Fast Company, and the cover of Entrepreneur magazine. Neuro can be found in over 7500 retail locations nationwide in stores such as Whole Foods, CVS, Erewhon, and Equinox gyms.
In addition to his other ventures, Kent currently paints large scale murals as both a freelance artist and a qualified muralist through the Department of Cultural Affairs. As an experiential artist, he co-designed the immersive retail experience CAMP in New York, The Sixth Collection for Jerry Lorenzo's streetwear brand Fear of God, and Diddy???s 50th Birthday through okidoki, an experiential design agency he co-founded in 2018.
