Ryan Kohn (OMT, 2001) - Propercorn

Congratulations to Ryan Kohn OMT whose company Propercorn is now valued at £12 million. After listening to the grumbles of hungry work colleagues, his friend Cassandra Stavrou developed a healthy snack that doesn’t taste too much like a health product - seasoned popcorn. Cassandra approached Ryan and they decided to work together to develop and market the product.

With £30,000 investment from Ryan’s mother, and working out of a one bedroom flat in Belsize Park, the two have now built a successful international brand with clients including Google HQ and Selfridges. Leaving university to start a nightclub business, before working in property, Ryan has now utilised his skills to help create a new niche in the food market and we are delighted to read that the story features in the Sunday Times.
