A third-year Syracuse University student studying advertising and entrepreneurship, Dangoor has spent the last year developing and preparing to launch his artisanal beef jerky brand, MUNCH Jerky, which has become a hit with students on campus.

In this episode of YES! Dangoor describes to host Jacob O’Connor the roots of his entrepreneurship journey, the challenges of developing a snack brand while working towards a college degree, how grants and pitch competitions helped him grow his brand, and his plans for launching MUNCH’s first products.

“I've always been an obsessive kid,” Dangoor says about his love for entrepreneurship. “I used to play sports growing up and I think it was a natural transition to entrepreneurship. When I get my mind set on something, I want to see it through until it succeeds or fails.”

In March 2021, Dangoor was awarded the Hunter Brooks Watson Entrepreneurship Award. Tune in to this YES! Episode to learn how this award from Hunter’s Fund has helped bring MUNCH Jerky to the next level.
