| Actual Veggies mission is to provide vegans, flexitarians, and carnivores alike, healthy, satisfying, environmentally friendly and delicious meal options. They do not use unnatural scientific methods to taste like substitute meat. Instead, they offer consumers a unique option to skip the frozen section of thin, mostly unappetizing veggie burgers,and processed plant-based offerings. Their first product line is an always fresh, large 5oz vegetarian burger made with only real vegetables, natural binding units, no preservatives, and no additives. Our first four burgers are vibrantly color based, and showcase their farm fresh veggies by looking, and tasting like works of art. | $7M / Series A / Feb 25, 2025 | ||

| Grillo's Pickles began with a pickle cart, just a small wooden stand in downtown Boston, where Travis Grillo and his friends would sell two spears for one dollar. Travis would make the pickles by night using his family's 100-year old recipe - one he'd memorized from making pickles every summer as a kid. In the morning, Travis wouldbike to the Boston Common and set up the cart with his buddies. Theyʼd hang out all day, urging people to try the simple Grillo family pickle. It was a small business but Travis worked hard for it. He made more pickles, biked more miles, and slept less hours than he ever had before.Before he knew it, Whole Foods Markets and the Boston Red Sox asked to feature the pickles. Others promptly followed. Today, you can find Grilloʼs Pickles in grocery stores across the country. Even so, not much has changed. At its core, the company will always be Travis and his buddies spreading the word about these awesome pickles, just like years ago in the Boston Common. The pickle itself hasnʼt changed, either. Itʼs still garden-fresh, all natural, and refreshingly delicious. They think itʼs the best pickle in the world. | $4M / Series A / Mar 06, 2018 |
