News from Velocity 2024 Alumni, Kayte Freelon!

We’re thrilled to celebrate Kayte Freelon, founder of Coco Fro, on receiving a $10,000 NC IDEA MICRO grant! Coco Fro is a Durham-based company making plant-based, freeze-dried ice cream. This dairy-free treat is sweet, creamy, crunchy, and totally unique.

With support from NC IDEA and a previous Kickstarter grant, Kayte is working to scale production, upgrade packaging, and launch an online store. You can also find Coco Fro through local partners like the Museum of Life and Science in Durham and Kaleideum in Winston-Salem. We’re so proud to see a Velocity alum continuing to build momentum
