Overview

BeetNPath offers a frozen entrée product line and earlier in 2018 updated its brand look and feel and introduced new packaging for that line. The company is an existing portfolio company of Rand Capital. In the third quarter of 2018 Rand Capital supported BeetNPath’s ongoing growth with a financing. That financing was a convertible secured note. The article does not disclose operating metrics, founding year, location, or additional financial details for BeetNPath. Grainful is an Ithaca, New York-based frozen food and meal kit company centered on savory oat-based entrees. It launched a line of savory oat-based frozen entrees including Vegetarian Chili, Unstuffed Pepper, Porcini Mushroom Chicken, and Tuscan Bean & Kale. In 2016 the company added a shelf-stable meal kit product line targeting the speed-scratch market (30 minutes or less). Products are sold online through the Grainful store and Amazon, and are carried by leading retailers across the nation. Led by co-founder and president Jan Pajerski, Grainful raised $3.3m and intends to use the funds to grow operations and expand its product offerings.
