SKU Dallas set up shop in North Texas in 2020, partnering with DFW CPG as a local arm of the Austin-based CPG-focused accelerator. It's graduated 12 companies since then, including local plant-based jerky brand All Y’alls Foods, along with Texas-based mmmpanadas and Meli’s Monster Cookies.
Now it's announced its third lineup of CPG startups. All female-founded, they range from a Brooklyn sexual wellness and body product company to a California-based Vietnamese cold-brew coffee brand.
In this week's roundup of hires, promotions, and accolades in North Texas, you'll also find news from Cicis, Complexity Gaming, Digit7, Design Connect Create, Vaxxinity, and more.
Blake Wiley and Grant Christopher reviewed 300 companies before deciding on the CPG fund's first 3 "disrupter" investments—Austin-based Tiff's Treats; Chicago cloud-kitchen startup Epic Kitchens; and a California plant-based supplements firm.
As the VCs search for five more startups, they believe co-investing will triple their fund's holdings to $45 million.
