Die Höhle der Löwen Poppy's Eis Alena Leeb startup pitch vegan ice cream

Alena Leeb, founder of Poppy's Eis, delivered an emotional pitch on the television show ‘Die Höhle der Löwen’. Leeb, who described the appearance as the “chance of her life,” shared details about her difficult past and her motivation to succeed for her children.

Poppy's Eis offers a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream, utilizing fruit and vegetables without industrial sugar. The product is also gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan. Leeb reported early commercial success, having sold 10,000 units and generating 14,000 euros in revenue within four months.

While investor Johannes Kliesch praised the taste as “outstanding,” the pitch faced challenges as several investors declined due to the complexities of the frozen food industry. Leeb expressed deep personal admiration for investors Judith Williams and Frank Thelen during the episode.
