I recently acquired a small (very) brand in the alternative protein space. We lean into Acheta (cricket) protein as the main ingredient and value proposition. Acheta protein is a superfood by all accounts both nutritionally and sustainably speaking. I've lived in the business for a few months and see the opportunity to grow a category and brand. I've also found a few consolidation opportunities within the space that would 15x revenue from day 1. I'm searching for a partner/operator with a CPG background, and working capital investment. Would love to discuss this with interested parties.

Hi Scott, possibly interested as well. In fact, my target companies are CPG realted. Worked in Consulting for a couple of years helping clients such as Ferrara, US Foods, Sysco, etc. Currently at Reddy Ice as VP of Sales Strategy. My wife works for CA Fortune a CPG broker as well so have a bit of knowledge transfer there.

What geography are you looking at? What range of investment? That information might help you get to the right people. Best of luck!

P.S. I have some CPG experience, but am based in MX. Feel free to DM me if it makes sense for us to chat.
