Prior to launching ShelfLife, Lillian explored launching a spiked seltzer line with a classmate in business school. She spent a summer at Bessemer Venture Partners researching the future of B2B commerce with a focus on food and beverage industries. She began her career at Denver-based start-up Craftsy. Priding itself as a hub for creative enthusiasts, Craftsy produced video content and sold materials for a variety of hobbies from baking to quilting. Those 4 years spent in Denver introduced Lillian to the world of opportunity that exists at the intersection of food and entrepreneurship.

Lillian earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and graduated with a bachelors in economics from Princeton University.
