A direct-to-consumer business, Little Spoon was founded just over a year ago in California and has already notched up deliveries of one million of its children’s meals. The company is focused on nutritional, organic baby foods, and is seeking to build on the inroads made by its Babyblends debut brand.
Formed by Lisa Barnett, Michelle Muller, Ben Lewis, and Angela Vranich, Little Spoon said it has created more than 50 recipes featuring in excess of 80 different ingredients.
“This capital enables us to expand beyond baby’s first bites and continue to create thoughtfully designed solutions for all the critical milestones of parenthood,” the company’s founders said in a statement. “We know that Little Spoon is resonating so deeply because parents today are just like us – they’re looking for brands to deliver high-quality yet accessible solutions for their needs, and their expectations only heighten with a new baby.”
