Curt Jones | The Inventor of Dippin’ Dots and Beaded Ice Cream
Curt Jones is the innovative mind behind Dippin' Dots, a revolutionary frozen treat that has captured the imagination of dessert lovers worldwide. As the founder and inventor, Curt pioneered a unique flash-freezing process in 1987, transforming ordinary ice cream into tiny, flavorful beads. This innovative approach not only created a delightful new way to enjoy frozen desserts but also opened up a whole new market in the ice cream industry. Despite initial skepticism, Curt’s persistence and vision propelled Dippin' Dots to success, earning it a place as a beloved staple at theme parks, stadiums, and malls globally. With his entrepreneurial spirit and determination, he continues to inspire aspiring inventors and entrepreneurs alike, proving that with creativity and perseverance, even the most unconventional ideas can become a sweet success. In 2016, after his time at Dippin’ Dots, Curt started a new company called 40 Below. Using the same freezing process as Dippin’ Dots, 40 Below takes classic food and beverage items and elevates them into unique, novelty snacks using cryogenic technology. Brands include frozen coffees, teas, whey proteins, as well as, margarita, strawberry daiquiri, and piña colada mixers. * The Founder Hour is brought to you by Outer.
