Sweet Soul by Cam
From Campus to Company
Entrepreneurial Voices
What inspired you to start your business?
It started with a simple belief: healthier choices should not mean giving up enjoyment. During COVID, a passion for cooking and wellness led to the idea that desserts could still feel indulgent without refined sugar.
What is the concept behind the brand?
The brand is built around naturally sweetened desserts that show mindful eating can still be satisfying, energising and rooted in self-love.
Biggest challenge so far?
Balancing full-time studies with building a business has meant learning how to manage time, set priorities and build meaningful relationships with customers.
How has IE supported the journey?
IE has provided both a community and a platform to grow the project, helping turn ideas into something tangible. Through courses, collaborations and an entrepreneurial environment, it has offered valuable insight into value creation, business structure and how to scale with purpose.
One unexpected skill gained along the way?
Learning how to build a real community, step outside the comfort zone and see competition as inspiration. More than launching a product, the experience has been about creating connection through shared values.
