Rind

131 Seventh Avenue, Suite 130, New York, 10011, United States

Overview

RIND produces whole-food, nutrient-dense, zero-waste snacks by retaining the rind on 'rescued' fruit and marketing them as skin-on superfruit snacks. Since launching in NYC in 2018, the company has expanded distribution across retail and D2C omni-channel platforms, winning placements at Whole Foods, Wegmans, Meijer, CVS and others and reporting presence in over 3,000 locations. RIND grew revenues five-fold in 2020 and expects to more than triple sales this year while continuing retail expansion. The brand says it diverted more than 120,000 pounds of edible peels from landfills in 2020 and has launched a school snacks campaign to help combat childhood hunger. With new capital the company plans to accelerate its sustainable and upcycled product pipeline into adjacent categories, invest in expanded production capacity, and build a world-class team to support growth and its sustainability mission.
