Erica Bethe Levin (she/her) - Founder and CEO
A three-time founder, Erica Bethe Levin lost her six-figure income during the pandemic and decided to take a huge risk in starting Globowl, an internationally-inspired baby and toddler food company introducing babies to big flavors, safe textures, and common allergens. Their chef-curated meals give kids the chance to experience tastes from around the world when they're most receptive to new flavors and textures—between 4 and 18 months—leading to a lifetime of adventurous eating. The entire team of Globowl is committed to giving back to the community and helping eliminate food insecurities in children. Erica has faced numerous challenges as a female mother founder, one of which is the guilt of balancing. Her solution? “I’ve decided to integrate my business into our family life so that my babies feel like they’re a part of it too—it’s not just ‘mommy’s.’ It’s theirs, it’s their father’s, and it’s our livelihood,” she explains.
Erica wants all our kids to develop a curiosity for the planet, and the people who inhabit it, along with a lifelong love and appreciation of food, adventure and interconnection. Join Erica and Globowl as we build a more inclusive, welcoming world through delicious, nutritious and exciting meals…one baby foodie at a time.

Why Globowl - I'm a proud momma to four kids who are all very different. My first child (who is going to be 25 this year) had lots of food intolerances, probably because I boiled all-the-things and over-sanitized everything. I only fed him one-note foods and not much variety. My fourth child grew up with less attention to sanitization and basically ate whatever we were eating due to ease and just exposure to the other kids' plates. She's never sick, she loves all the foods and also really enjoys cooking new recipes from TikTok. I believe in doing what is best for your children and I love the journey of motherhood - we learn as we go and from each other. I wish Globowl meals were around when raising my littles. Globowl solves so many things early on - like picky-eating and allergies.
Julie Bombacino - Advisor
Why Globowl – I love companies that challenge any industry’s “the way it’s always been done” standard (In this case, the way it’s always been done is only the past 50 years or so…prior to that parents fed their babies smaller pieces of what they were eating. There was no jarred, single-ingredient baby food!) The texture, the flavors, the introduction to culture - what’s not to love!?!
