Ed Cornell is a co-founder of Milk Cult, a popular Washington, D.C.-based ice cream company that has quickly grown from a local pop-up to a national brand with a cult following that now retails in three Whole Foods regions. Before making the serendipitous mistake of getting into the ice cream industry (which has been great), Cornell worked manual labor jobs and attended community college in Montgomery County, Maryland, earning a bachelor’s in political science. He hopes to share what he’s learned with other entrepreneurs and startups to make their process a little bit easier.
