# UpStart Collective chats with Mariana Ferreira of ingarden

> Born in Columbia, Mariana Ferreira found herself accidentally falling into entrepreneurship during her days in college in which she learned more through failure than success. Today, leading a CPG company focused on healthy eating through a device that consumers can put on their kitchen counter to grow microgreens, Mariana is leaning in on her learnings to give back to the founder community.
