Better Brand Plans First Product Launch

Food tech startup will introduce low-carb bagel in May 2021

April 15, 2021

Better Brand, Inc., an innovative food tech startup marking a new era of nutrition by leading innovation in the multi-trillion-dollar refined carb space, announced plans to launch its first product, The Better Bagel – turning one of the most carb-heavy foods into the carb equivalent of ½ of an orange, or 1/5th of a banana.
 
The company pairs its Grain-changing Technology™ with real, clean label ingredients to break a paradigm in diet and healthy eating - allowing consumers the freedom to indulge in their favorite comfort foods without restriction. Better Brand’s products feature fewer carbs, more protein, chef-crafted flavor, and plant-based ingredients alongside its proprietary food technology.
 
The announcement comes on the heels of Better Brand’s raise, marking the company’s founder, Aimee Yang, a LA-based, Asian American female entrepreneur, as the first sole female founder to raise more than $1M in a venture led pre-seed round across the food tech, food and beverage, and consumer sectors (as noted by Crunchbase). The round was led by VERSO Capital, an active player in the food tech space who has invested over $245M in startups across the food tech, climate tech, and biotech sectors throughout the past four years, placing Better Brand in a portfolio amongst food tech giants Impossible Foods and Eat Just, Inc. VERSO was joined by a suite of notable investors including Wendy’s heir Sean Thomas, actress Emmy Rossum, and Venture for America’s CEO Dorie Smith.
 
The Better Bagel will feature 5g of net carbs, and be housed in design forward, sustainable packaging with a transparent case, showcasing the brand’s dedication to all natural, Non-GMO Project Verified ingredients, along with the set of simple, yet powerful beliefs the company was founded on: the belief that unnecessary limits are meant to be broken; that everyone deserves to enjoy freedom and joy to the fullest; the belief that a Better world is possible - and that together, we’ll create it. The product will be available for purchase in select retailers nationwide, and via the company’s website www.eatbetter.com in May 2021.
