Rivalz Snacks
Rivalz is a Sonoma, California snack company making oven-baked, dual-textured stuffed snacks built on yellow pea protein. Each one-ounce serving packs 8g of plant protein, 4g of fiber, no added sugar and seven essential vitamins and minerals, wrapped in nostalgic flavors like Late Night Pizza, Extra Chedda' Mac and Spicy Street Taco. Founded in 2022 by a team of CPG veterans, food scientists and UC Davis researchers and led by former Marine aviator Peter Barrick, Rivalz aims to make genuinely nutritious snacking taste like the junk food people already crave - and to sell it at mainstream prices.
Wholly Moly!
Wholly Moly! (好哩) is a health-food brand built on a simple, slightly stubborn premise: that oat bran - the fibrous outer casing of the oat that most milling throws away - deserves to be the center of a meal rather than a byproduct. Founded by Claire Cao Fang and operating between Silicon Valley and Shanghai, the company turns North American oats into instant porridge, hot cereal, and lightweight-packaged oat drinks aimed at younger Chinese consumers looking to swap refined white rice for whole grains. It raised roughly US$10 million in a Series A round led by Adrian Cheng's C Ventures in 2020.
