Tagline: Unleashing the untold magic of chickpeas to harness explosive plant-based trend
Elevator pitch: Fabalish creates plant-based, allergen-friendly, organic and clean-label foods from chickpeas and its byproduct aquafaba (chickpea water). Our award-winning dips (tzatziki, ranch, and queso), are replacing their egg/dairy based counterparts thanks to the versatility of aquafaba. And from the upcycled chickpeas, we've created the first baked and organic falafel on the market - a healthy, tasty, and clean protein alternative to animal products and engineered/highly-processed alt-proteins.

FAQ:
- Q: Any numbers on how the margins (both gross and net) will be optimized? Are you seeing more of a digital growth or in-store growth? Based on the projected growth, you are seeing a +100% growth yoy?
  A: Thanks for the questions Tom. 1. We're vertically integrated, and own our manufacturing. As such, our margins have been improving over time as we become more efficient, our batch sizes increase, and our buying power improves with volume. Additionally, we are bringing in additional equipment to significantly automate production (especially the packaging process) as well as give us a 5x increase in throughput. We anticipate getting our margins above 40% over the next 12-18 months. 2. While 2020...
- Q: Thank you for your response. Still a bit unclear on the numbers. Combined since 2019 looks like you raised $1,345,762 and you currently value this at $6M; at this burn rate do you see an issue with being fully diluted over time? As stated you are looking to bring your margins ...
  A: Thanks Tom, I’ll do my best to answer all your questions here. Would be happy to set up a call as well, or provide more info. I’m available at paul@fabalish.com if you’d like to connect. 1. Regarding dilution, we anticipate having majority (50%+) after our first priced round, which we’re aiming for in Q2/Q3 of 2022. The goal there is an $8-10M valuation, raising on the order of $2-3M. The 50%+ is after the conversion of all notes and SAFEs, and after the dilution of the priced round (includin...
- Q: What were your numbers on Amazon year to date? and overall D2C non-blended (separating Amazon, direct website sales and any other marketplaces) Regarding your distribution/ wholesale margins, in my opinion those are too thin so I would like to know how the D2C would be looking...
  A: See response in the other reply, thanks
- Q: Is there a way to invest from my Traditional IRA?
  A: Unfortunately, I don't believe so! From my understanding, it has to be a direct cash investment via credit card or bank transfer.
- Q: Hi there! I'm interested in investing but am outside the US (in UK). Will I still get my products (if I invest 1K)? Thanks
  A: Hi Jasmin, unfortunately we can't ship products outside the US at this time. We can ship to someone in the US for you, or otherwise ship other merch/swag to you. Open to other ideas. Sorry about this!
