Operating Co-Founder Opportunity
I’m seeking an elite business partner for the next stage of our expansion journey at Raw Bites.
What started in my kitchen as a passion for pure, healthy dessert creations, has turned into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
Demand for nutrient-dense, real-food snacks is exploding. Consumers are actively walking away from processed junk and demanding clean-label transparency. We built a product line that is tested, proven, and genuinely loved.
Here’s the honest reality: my superpower is vision, recipe development, and product creation..
Not distributor logistics, sales pipelines, and commercial scaling.
I built the foundation, established the branding, and proved product-market fit. But to turn this momentum into an elite national CPG brand, I need an operating partner whose superpower is commercial scale.
What I’m Looking For:
- Role: Operating Co-Founder / Growth CEO / Strategic Partner.
- An experienced builder with a proven track record of scaling physical CPG brands (food & beverage preferred).
- Deep understanding of wholesale distribution, retail expansion (grocery, specialty retail, hospitality), and performance marketing.
- A leader who shares the vision of scaling this business efficiently with an eye toward a high-value acquisition/exit.
- Ability to bring growth strategy (and ideally growth capital or investor networks) to the table.
What’s Already Built & Ready to Scale:
- Validated Product-Market Fit: Fully formulated, compliant clean-label product line (gluten-free, dairy-free, zero refined sugars) with proven demand and repeat buyers who obsess over the product.
- Dual Revenue Channels: Active direct-to-consumer storefront with recurring subscribers, plus an established footprint across high-end local retail and wholesale accounts.
- Turnkey Infrastructure: Scaled production workflows, active commercial kitchen operations, vetted ingredient supply chains, and fully developed SOPs.
- Retail-Ready Brand Assets: Custom high-volume, shelf-ready packaging, professional branding, and strong organic customer loyalty.
What You Bring:
- True grit and tenacity: A genuine passion for business building, an insane work ethic, and the tenacity required to grind through the early scaling stages.
- Proven CPG track record: Hands-on experience scaling physical consumer products from early momentum to high-volume revenue (food & beverage preferred).
- Retail & wholesale mastery: Deep understanding of grocery expansion, broker management, distributor networks (UNFI/KeHE/DSD), and shelf velocity.
- Commercial engine: Execution power across sales pipelines, B2B partnerships, and omnichannel customer acquisition.
- Growth mindset & capital access: A clear vision for building toward a high-value exit, with the ability to bring or raise growth capital being a major plus.
What I’m Offering:
- Significant Equity / Co-Ownership for the right partner ready to drive commercial growth while I run production and product development.
- A thriving, fully formulated clean-label product line with custom packaging and high-margin recurring customers.
- An established brand positioned directly at the front of a rapidly expanding market shift.
- Clear operational lanes: you lead business development and scale; I keep product quality, formulation, and brand integrity elite.
- A partnership with someone that cares about making change surrounding human health & is willing to win in the trenches towards a strong exit.
If you have built and scaled CPG brands, are passionate about making a positive impact in the health-nutrition space, and want to step into an established, ready-to-scale business, let’s talk.
