Brami reprocesses an ancient Roman snack for modern consumers
About Brami
Brami is a food company focused on reimagining Italian pantry staples by incorporating the lupini bean, a legume historically consumed in the Mediterranean region. The company was founded in 2015 by Aaron Gatti, who serves as CEO, along with co-founders William Hicks and Dillon Dandurand. Gatti's inspiration stems from his childhood summers in Italy and a desire to bring the simple, high-quality ingredients of his heritage to American consumers. He observed the nutritional benefits of the lupini bean, a food his grandmother ate during World War II, and saw an opportunity to introduce this "superbean" to a market largely unfamiliar with it. Before starting Brami, Gatti gained experience at firms like Lerer Hippeau Ventures and holds a degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Read full description
The company's core business revolves around creating and selling food products that feature lupini beans. Brami operates as an internet-first brand but also has a significant retail presence, selling its products through its website, Amazon, and in over 5,000 stores, including major retailers like Whole Foods Market. The business model targets health-conscious consumers seeking plant-based, high-protein, and low-carbohydrate alternatives to traditional snacks and pastas. Brami positions its products as a modern take on Italian food, emphasizing authentic taste combined with improved nutritional profiles. The company has secured funding to support its growth, including a seed round in 2016 and a Series A round in 2023, with total funding reported between $6.83M and $11.4M across different sources.
Brami's product lines include ready-to-eat snacking lupini beans and protein pasta. The snacking beans are minimally processed, pickled, and come in various flavors like Sea Salt & Vinegar, Garlic & Herb, and Chili Lime. These snacks are shelf-stable, gluten-free, and vegan, offering a convenient alternative to dry, processed snacks. The Italian Protein Pasta is made in Molise, Italy, from just two main ingredients: premium Italian durum wheat semolina and whole-milled lupini bean flour. This formulation results in a pasta with significantly more protein and fiber, and fewer net carbs than traditional pasta, available in shapes like Fusilli and Radiatori. The company controls its supply chain, from milling to production, to ensure product quality.
