Kinship Milk Tea founder Caitlin Cash Traveled the World on Her Bike And Brought Thai Inspired Milk Tea to Texas

Instead of taking a well-beaten path after attending UT Austin, Caitlin Cash taught English in France and Thailand, but her travels did not stop there. For the next 5 years, she guided cycling tours all over the world, and upon her return to Austin, she took up bike racing, but she also yearned for the sweet and refreshing Milk Tea she enjoyed in Thailand on hot days, so she set about making it herself and testing the results on friends. It wasn't too long before she was bottling her milk tea and selling it in stores.

Not only has Cash made remarkable strides with Kinship Milk Tea, she also understands the power of what her business means. And the potential it has. Cash focuses on empowering women and minorities with leadership, hiring, and sourcing and sharing her struggles so others can benefit. On the product side, Cash seems to be doing many things right because she was accepted into a very exclusive Whole Foods accelerator after the taping of this episode. Tune in to hear how the Kinship story started with bikes, and how Cash's entrepreneurial successes have not come without learning the hard way.
