00:00I love this pitch. Would I invest? Watch it, and I'll tell you after.
00:04What if I told you there's a vegetable that helps keep your brain sharp,
00:06boosts your immunity, and keeps you slim? There is, and it's called kelp.
00:10At Foraged & Found, we're transforming kelp into premium pickles and spreads
00:14that surprise and delight consumers. We're already in 135 Whole Foods stores,
00:18we have 65% gross margins, and our e-commerce sales have increased 11x year over year,
00:23proving that consumers are looking for kelp products. We're seeking $500K in a pre-seed round
00:28to elevate our brand in this new and exciting space in food.
00:3160 plus percent margins, that's incredible. Distribution at almost 100 locations,
00:36that's great too. Year over year growth is great. How many years have you been growing? When did
00:41the company launch? What are the actual historic sales? Stuff like this actually has real, real
00:46big potential. It's part of the Better For You movement, which is something that's probably never
00:49going to go away. It doesn't necessarily excite me, because I think that this is something that
00:53is probably a very specific taste. And for stuff like that, I probably would pass, just given the
00:59fact that this is not a wide market play. Really interesting pitch, but it doesn't really excite
01:04me enough to pursue it. Thank you so much for doing Elevator Pitch on the street. In order to
01:09show our gratitude, Amazon Business would like to gift you a $500 gift card to use for whatever
01:15you need. Amazing!
