Pistakio

pssst psst! our crowdfunding campaign is LIVE! the best part? every contribution gets you 120% back in the form of purchasing credits!!! here’s a rundown of why we’re doing this: last year, we were in college when we decided to reinvent the pistachio industry (quite naively) & we had one mission: create authentic pistachio products that taste REAL and are approachable. we’re launching this campaign to take Pistakio to even more pantries, stores closer to you, and fund our next pistachio product (but we need your help to make that happen) 🥳🥂🤞🏼 click the link to learn more about how you can help us grow: https://lnkd.in/g6n5djyf your support means the world to us and we can’t wait to keep reimagining pistachios, together 💚

our crowdfunding campaign officially kicks off today! 🥳 and to be completely honest, these past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions behind it — angst, excitement, nerves, you name it… when we started Pistakio in college last year, we never could have imagined the amount of love we’d have gotten from our community in only 6 months of launching. this is a product that i’m truly so passionate about and being able to share it with a strong and loving community of pistachio-lovers has been my favorite part of this journey. i still remember being half-way through my college days, when i decided to go to culinary school because i had a fascination for food, and celebrating food with people i loved — i was *almost* certain that i wanted to be a chef. it brought me so much joy to cook for others that i thought it was the right path for me, until i discovered how life in a kitchen would be… i felt lost. i didn’t know what the right path was for me was, until one day, Nicola Buffo said to me, “if you were to become a chef, there would only be so many people who would get to try your food, and be able to visit your restaurant. but, if we were to build a brand, the products you make could reach so many more people” in 6 months, we’ve already sold 20,000 jars and reached more people than we could have imagined; all while starting with practically nothing. since the beginning, our mission has been to make pistachios a pantry staple, and spread the love for pistachios to every household nation-wide. we’re launching this campaign to do JUST that. we want to make more products, be in more places, and grow, so more people can come along the journey! here’s the link: https://lnkd.in/gDZU6RWh to learn more about the campaign, invest, and get credits back to try Pistakio! i hope you’ll come along the journey 💚

This summer, I had a life-changing burger in Barcelona that had pistachios—it was a dessert burger like no other. Back in the States, I searched for something similar and discovered Francine Voit and Pistakio. Fran noticed that while grocery stores were stocked with almond and cashew butters, pistachio products were missing. Inspired by her culinary background in Italy, she’s been creating savory and sweet pistachio dishes that highlight the nut’s full potential. Pistachios are more than just a snack—they can transform dishes in unexpected ways. #cpg

exactly a year ago, Nicola Buffo and I moved to a new place without knowing anyone, or having visited before. all we had was a gut feeling that this was the place for a fresh start — a place that was open-minded and had a strong community filled with passionate makers. we strongly believed this was the place for us to start a new business, so we worked hard & grinded, juggling jobs to pay the bills, while launching a startup called Pistakio ‼️ this past year was a rollercoaster, we signed a lease and told ourselves we had a year to see if Pistakio would go anywhere. and if not, we’d find a “normal” job… well, we renewed our lease & we quit our jobs last week to go full time into our company, AND we’re planning to start raising money next month (for the first time ever). it was so scary to take that leap of faith last year, but i can’t wait to see where this next year will take us 🤞🏼
