Partake Foods

The company's products are free from the top nine allergens, including wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, milk, eggs, and soy, and are made in a dedicated allergy-friendly facility. The product line includes a variety of cookies and baking mixes, appealing to both health-conscious consumers and individuals with dietary restrictions. The business model is centered on selling these packaged goods through an omnichannel approach, with revenue generated from sales in retail stores and e-commerce. Partake has experienced significant growth, expanding its retail presence from a few hundred stores in early 2020 to over 10,000 by 2023, including major retailers like Target, Whole Foods, Walmart, and Kroger.

A significant milestone for the company and its founder occurred in 2019 when Denise Woodard became the first Black woman to raise over $1 million for a packaged food startup. The company has since secured substantial funding from a diverse group of investors. A Series A round in 2021 raised $4.8 million, with notable investors including Rihanna, Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners, and Black Capital. This was followed by an $11.5 million Series B round in 2022, led by investors focused on supporting diverse leadership. As of early 2023, Partake Foods had raised nearly $18 million in total. The company is also a certified B Corp, reflecting a commitment to social and environmental standards.
