Sisters Get Deal on ‘Shark Tank’ to Scale TOAST-IT Frozen Latin Foods Business
As seen on the October 6 episode of ABC’s hit series, “Shark Tank,” KIND Snacks Founder and Guest Shark Daniel Lubetzky and his team at Camino Partners, a business building and investment platform, has teamed up with TOAST-IT to provide support and mentorship to founders and sisters Mafe and Coco Cabezas to scale their brand of Latin American staples.
When the Cabezas sisters moved to the U.S. from Venezuela, they deeply missed their mom's cooking. While looking for replacements, they discovered a hole in the market: authentic arepas – essentially basic bread in South American cultures – were nowhere to be found. So, they decided to launch their own arepas brand using their mother's recipe, and now it can be found in freezers everywhere from Walmart to Whole Foods.
