Hannah Mendoza, 29, is the cofounder of the instant latte company Clevr Blends.
The brand counts Meghan Markle as an investor, and Oprah as a fan.
To Insider, Mendoza talks about her entrepreneurial beginnings and launching her company.
When Hannah Mendoza was nine years old, she had an idea: a smoothie bar for kids.
She set up shop in her home economics class and organized a group of classmates to help sell her creations. It was something she loved, Mendoza told Insider. She didn t know it would foreshadow the business she would one day run.
