Of all the things Omsom CEO Vanessa Pham expected to be dealing with earlier this month, the Silicon Valley Bank collapse was not one of them. As co-founders of the Asian flavors and sauces start-up, Vanessa and her sister Kim have successfully steered the mission-driven Omsom to national distribution with the likes of Whole Foods, partnered with influential chefs like Nicole Ponseca, and helped change the conversation around Asian-influenced consumer product goods and pantry staples. 

But Omsom was a customer of Silicon Valley Bank, which famously failed on March 10th, and Vanessa, Kim, and the rest of the team had to confront an immediate future with no capital. Omsom faced its rollercoaster of a week by leaning into their hallmark transparency, and their community rallied around them. Vanessa shares it all with host Kerry Diamond and also talks about how Omsom came to be.
