A year ago, I launched Pachamama Fermented Foods with the goal of growing this business and entering retail.

One year later, I am happy to report that this goal has successfully been met. With that being said, this business wants to expand, and I am here to make sure I create that pathway.

I want to save the VC route as the last option, as I would like to allow this business to grow in an authentic timeline. With that being said, when I raised my initial start-up round a year ago of $15k, I had the goal of reaching retail in 2023. It is now November of 2022, and that goal has already been met.

I am ready to scale this business; to do so, I need to help put together the necessary resources to help Pachamama Fermented Foods toward its BIG VISION of being in major retailers nationwide.

I am raising a pre-seed round of $500k; that is where your support is SO impactful.

Your donation toward this entrepreneurial venture will help with legal fees, branding and design, marketing, inventory, commercial kitchen space, equipment, lab testing employees, and the list goes on.

With all that being said, I would like to share a little more about the origins of this business.

The product I have launched, FERMENTED hummus, is an incredibly unique product with a POWERFUL story.

Almost a decade ago, my firstborn, Everest, suffered from a spontaneous brain hemorrhage. While this may not have been serious for many, it was for him. It was discovered that he had vitamin K deficiency. Most Americans suffer from compromised gut health. After learning fermented foods is one of the BEST ways to help restore gut microbiome, we pivoted our diet immediately. While I couldn't change the past, I can at least empower Everest in his future.

Fast-forward to today: I took my big vision and began selling jars of fermented hummus around local places in Austin, TX. So much positive feedback, and now my business is taking off.

It's a product with a whole new category, which is exciting! We infuse it with quality ingredients that help support digestive health. Many are beginning to realize that we need more probiotics in our diets, so why not bring hummus alive? It's the best of both worlds!

Why Fermented?

Fermented foods help replenish the microbiome. While there are many factors that can play into our overall gut health, our diet is one of the most powerful and impactful ways to restore this imbalance.

Take a moment to envision something with me, the year is 2024, and you walk into a major grocery retailer; you happen to go to the hummus section; you look up and there it is! Pachamama Fermented Foods! You smile because you remember that Go Fund Me you decided to support. This is exciting stuff, and you get to be a part of it!

I invite you to help me see and bring this vision toward completion! Whether that looks like going to the retail stores and purchasing our products, helping promote this product through your network, making a financial donation, offering a service through your skill set, or forwarding this email to others that may resonate with this mission and vision, all of it will help!
