Jesse & Ben's just closed a $10M Series A led by Greycroft 🍟
Two restaurant operators (@jesse_konig + Ben Johnson) put their first bag on shelves in June 2024.
Last year they grew 1,100% and they're tracking another 300-400% this year!
Now the #1 frozen potato brand at multiple retailers... outselling the legacy giants AND private label.
The team is LOADED (like their fries): @ericthomasryan (Method, Olly) joining the board. Audrey Burger (formerly Primal Kitchen) joined as Founding President.
I think they've done a lot right here. Yes, they're doing the whole tallow thing, and yes the ingredients are clean and simple. But what I love about them is they're focused on making a delicious, restaurant-quality french fry first. That, right there, builds a timeless brand.
Plus they're in one of my favorite CPG categories: Frozen.
