In New York, Hu Products, makers of organic, paleo and vegan chocolate, closed their Series A round led by a strategic minority investment from Sonoma Brands. With its beginnings in the popular, paleo-inspired New York-based restaurant, Hu Kitchen, Hu Chocolate expands its global reach to propel its growth in the health-conscious snacking space.
Hu Chocolate is the first-to-market brand giving vegan, paleo and keto lifestyle devotees a culinary-inspired health indulgence that meets their needs. Hu embraces the integrity of dark chocolate at its core, using organic cacao, to craft a vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, delicious product, free of refined sugar and additives and lower-glycemic by design.
“We are thrilled to have found a strategic partner in Sonoma Brands. We look forward to what this relationship will help us accomplish as we move to advance our distribution and exposure in the coming months,” said Jason H. Karp, Chairman and Co-Founder of Hu.
