Company:
Medici Brands is building the next generation of category-defining consumer food brands. Our portfolio includes David, HallPass, Epogee, Rowdy, and several emerging brands in development. Across every brand, our mission is the same: eliminate the traditional tradeoffs between taste, nutrition, and accessibility to create products consumers love.
Led by CEO Peter Rahal, Co-founder and Former CEO of RXBAR, Medici combines deep consumer brand-building expertise with an ambitious approach to product innovation and scale.
Medici recently raised a $250 million Series B at a $2.25 billion valuation, positioning the company among the fastest-growing emerging businesses in consumer food. This is a rare opportunity to join a rapidly scaling platform at a defining moment, helping build the next generation of iconic food brands across multiple categories.
