Help Snack Lab Grow and Share Our Small-Batch Potato Chips!
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Jay, the founder of Snack Lab. What started as a passion for creating delicious, handmade snacks has grown into a small business that brings joy to Chicago and beyond. From small-batch potato chips to artisan popcorn, candies, cookies, breads, pretzels, brittles, and more every product is made with care, love, and the finest ingredients.
When I started Snack Lab, I wanted to create snacks that were not only delicious and inventive but also made with integrity—no shortcuts, no mass production, just honest, handcrafted treats. Over time, I’ve been overwhelmed by the support from my customers, who keep coming back for more.
Now, I’m at a turning point. To meet the growing demand and share my snacks with even more people, I need to expand my production, upgrade my equipment, and invest in marketing. That’s why I’m asking for your help to raise $18,000.
With your support, I can:
- Upgrade my equipment & packaging: Purchase a commercial-grade tumbler, caramelizer, and packaging tools to increase production and ensure consistency.
- Upgrade my packaging: Design and procure custom packaging. We like putting the labels on every bag, but we've grown too fast for it to continue being feasible.
- Reach more customers: Invest in marketing and attend local events to share my snacks with a wider audience.
This isn’t just about growing a business—it’s about sharing my passion with the world and creating snacks that bring people together. Every dollar you contribute will help me take this next step and continue doing what I love.
Thank you for believing in me and Snack Lab. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you!
