read how Allergenius was founded by three young students.
Allergenius Baking Co. LLC was born in a high school classroom in Wheaton, IL in 2018. Three students, Anya, Josh, and Maddie, were enrolled in a year-long entrepreneurship course called Business INCubator. The three were grouped together based on their complimentary skills and interests, then assigned two professional mentors to assist with their project. What developed was unprecedented.
Meet the founders... |
Brilliant baker, Allergenius idea creator, and avid allergy awareness advocate; meet Maddie. Living with a severe dairy allergy has helped Maddie learn the in's and out's of allergy safe baking. Using her experience cooking with allergy safe ingredients, Allergenius was able to develop its own unique recipes and products. She is the aller-genius behind the delicious cookies in each box!

Visionary, public speaking prodigy with a passion; meet Anya. Anya was drawn to Maddie's idea due to her tree nut allergy. With her background as a speech team member, Anya represents herself as the voice of Allergenius. If you see her at a local event, we can promise that Anya will greet you with a smile! She is the mastermind business woman and queen of relations.

Tech savvy with a creative eye; meet Josh. Although the only member of the group without a food allergy, Josh is responsible for all content creation, branding, advertising, and marketing for Allergenius. Skilled with a camera, Josh is behind most of our photos and videos. He even designed the website you're viewing right now! More of his creative work can be found here.
