Raised Real is a subscription-based meal service designed specifically for babies, delivering frozen, ready-to-steam meals curated by a PhD and registered dietitian. Each recipe is crafted to integrate fruits, vegetables, micronutrients, healthy fats, protein, and superfood ingredients for early development. The company emphasizes innovations across its frozen supply chain, including ingredient sourcing, storage, packaging design, and menu diversification to keep meals fresher and traceable. All ingredients are plant-based and sourced from organically certified farms; meals are priced at $4.75 each and the system offers free shipping to CA, OR, WA, AZ, and NV. Raised Real said the $5 million investment from Schwan’s Company will support growth of its in-house team and geographic expansion to national distribution by the end of 2017. Founders include Santiago Merea, Michelle Davenport, and Steven Kontz, and advisors named in the release include Mollie Chen, Nick Axelrod, Derek Ernst, and John Donham.
