Investing in EVOL
EVOL's chef-inspired frozen burritos, entree bowls, pizzas and flatbreads are all-natural and delicious. From sourcing humanely and sustainably raised chicken and beef, to cheese and meat that is always hormone-free, EVOL is dedicated to finding responsible farmers and suppliers with the best-tasting, highest-quality ingredients.
After chef-entrepreneur Phil Anson launched the company in 2004 with a line of delicious frozen burritos, EVOL received an investment in 2009 from the founders of Bear Naked Granola, Brendan Synnott and Tom Spier.
"We're excited to announce our partnership with ACG and we're looking forward to the next stage of growth for the brand" said CEO Spier. "We believe with this latest equity investment we can continue to build on the brand's momentum and take EVOL Foods to the next level through new distribution opportunities, product innovation and driving brand trial."
"Phil, Tom and Brendan recognized that products made with great-tasting, responsibly-produced natural ingredients would have broad appeal and could invigorate the frozen food category," said ACG managing partner Trevor Nelson. "They are not only frozen food innovators, but also a best-in-class management team with whom we are tremendously excited to partner. We look forward to helping them continue to build the EVOL brand."
