Most of the investors were hooked after sampling the tasty burgers. Mark Cuban, known for investing in food and beverage businesses, particularly those that are vegan or focus on health, exchanged $300,000 for 22 percent of the company’s equity.

3. Yummy Spoonfuls

Growing up in Cameroon, Agatha Achindu, a chef and wellness entrepreneur, exclusively ate fresh foods from the market and her family’s garden. But after becoming a mother, Achindu struggled to find delicious and nutritious meals to feed her son. This led Achindu to create meals in her kitchen and casually fill orders for her friends. In 2014, she officially launched Yummy Spoonfuls, an organic baby and toddler food company. Parents and babies fell in love with the company at first bite.

The clean ingredients and delicious taste even attracted a loyal following of celebrities, including Matthew McConaughey’s wife, Camila Alves, who is now the cofounder of the brand. After adding Alves to the team and implementing strategic marketing initiatives, Yummy Spoonfuls partnered with Target for a limited-edition collaboration to help busy parents find convenient meals that don’t sacrifice quality. Yummy Spoonfuls is currently available at Target.

4. Ghetto Gastro 

The term “Ghetto” often makes people uncomfortable and is usually code for low class, uneducated, and poor. The word has also been used as a dog whistle in politics to dehumanize disenfranchised communities. But for Ghetto Gastro, the word “Ghetto” means home. The company has strong roots in the Bronx and serves as a reminder to the founders, John Gray, Pierre Serrao and Lester Walker, to honor the unrepresented and use food and finesse to open borders and connect cultures.

This inspired him to start A Dozen Cousins. The brand features a variety of cultural beans, seasonings and rice packets, such as Jamaican jerk seasoning and Cuban beans, which are reminiscent of the unique and diverse flavors of Basir’s childhood.
