Overview

Maev is a raw dog food brand led by CEO Katie Spies that sells three products: Raw Food, Daily Vitamin Bars, and a Bone Broth Topper. Its products are 100% made in the USA, human‑grade using USDA‑certified ingredients, and contain no preservatives, synthetics, fillers, or by‑products. Since founding in 2020, the brand has served over 7 million meals and tripled its subscriber base in 2022. The company plans product expansions, veterinarian‑backed research, and recipe development using the new capital. Maev also intends to bolster team growth and hiring across all functions with the funds. Maev develops human-grade raw frozen dog food sold primarily via subscription, with meals that are ready-to-eat from the freezer and formulated alongside veterinary nutritionists. The company launched its first product in 2020 after being founded in 2019 and has since added supplemental vitamin bars and a bone-broth topper to its pipeline. Maev charges roughly $2 per meal, has acquired about 2,000 customers, and reports 92% customer retention after the first box. The business has 16 employees and 11 open jobs, and says it has been growing both revenue and customer bases while investing in supply chain and product innovation. Management reports roughly 20% month-over-month growth and plans to push that to 25% while expanding to omnichannel distribution and focusing on retention. Product roadmap includes a chicken formula expected in about three months and continued investment in brand awareness, hiring, and a headquarters move to Austin.
