Overview

Sauz develops jarred tomato sauces that combine high-quality ingredients with innovative flavors (e.g., Hot Honey Marinara, Summer Lemon Marinara, Brown Butter Alfredo, Miso Garlic Marinara) and bold packaging. The brand was founded by childhood friends Troy Bonde and Winston Alfieri to reinvent a largely overlooked grocery category. Sauz has rapidly expanded retail distribution and is now available in nearly 7,000 retail doors nationwide with seven sauce varieties and strong retail velocities. The company reported a 148% increase in overall revenue and a 250% increase in online sales. Sauz plans additional product and retail launches and a larger online footprint by the end of 2025. The company intends to use the new capital to accelerate marketing, awareness, innovation, and distribution.
