Papa's Pops skinless popcorn raises $1.25M seed round of investment
Food & beverage industry vet and star advisory board bring a revolutionary, healthier version of popcorn to market.
New York-based skinless popcorn brand Papa’s Pops has announced the close of its $1.25MM seed round of investment, led by Chetrit Ventures (Michael Chetrit), WorldState (Patrick Finnegan), Talent Resources Ventures (Mike Heller), Justin Mateen (Tinder), and Peter Rahal (RXBAR), who are all advising the brand.
Inspired after a trip to Brazil and experiencing a similar, although sugar-laden, treat, Bauer was compelled to recreate this safer skinless popped corn for his five grandchildren in a healthier way. After spending two years sourcing the optimal corn and raw ingredients, locating specialized equipment, and creating delicious, better-for-you flavor blends, he created Papa’s Pops.
