Mmmly: Where Health Meets Happiness

Mmmly is a nostalgic, good-for-you cookie brand...

We're making it easy to eat what you love by offering cherished classic cookie taste with good-for-you benefits. Our original line of soft-baked cookies combine the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and real fruit sugar with craveworthy classic flavors.

Mmmly’s vision is to be the enduring brand of choice, focused on redefining the standard for health-conscious staples to align with shifting consumer demand for snacks with no sacrifice on taste and health.

Invest in Mmmly

Our Mmmission: To create food with purpose and to inspire individuals to live strong and healthy lives, connecting people to food that contributes to their health, joy, and the planet.

Founder Nick Naclerio's Story

Nicholas meticulously formulated Mmmly so that cookie lovers like himself can continue enjoying delicious cookies while reaping the health benefits. The Big Picture: We love cookies. Always have and always will. Unfortunately, cookies have historically been a driver of obesity and diabetes, commonly filled with added sugar and saturated fat. With Mmmly, we're changing that narrative.

From a Bakery in Italy to a Cookie in Your Local Supermarket

Nicholas worked with experts and leaned on his pastry experience to craft a modern day cookie that incorporates beloved American flavors, hints of European ingredients inside, and all of the health benefits you deserve.

“La famiglia e tutto" as we say in Italy: “family is everything.” Our business is fortunate to not only be rooted in a delicious heritage of baking, but to have the strong backing of family through investment, advisory, and even the occasional in-store sampling support.

With our crowdfunding campaign, we open our arms and invite you to become a part of our family and the sweet beginnings of our story.

A Massive Category and a Clear White Space

The Market: Cookies are a $12B category that's projected to grow ~4% annually.

A strong share of consumers would like to indulge more permissibly, with 64% of cookie consumers agreeing that they wish there were healthier options. 33% of US adults would be willing to try a new cookie if it were made with natural sweeteners (Mintel Better-For-You Eating Trends US, 2021).

Legacy brands are indulgent but horrible for you: filled with sugar, artificial ingredients and additives, and saturated fat. 

"Better-For-You" brands often miss the mark on taste and lack the macronutrient profile for everyday consumption.

Mmmly stands out by successfully marrying beloved, familiar flavors with exceptional nutritional value. 1% market share capture equates to a $100M business…

... and we're just getting started. Mmmly cookies are designed to cater to a wide audience with the intention to land and expand into other categories. We’re starting with the $12B cookie market, using our initial cookie offering as a wedge into the $50B snacking market. We envision turning Mmmly products into essential pantry snacks!

Good-For-You is Making its Way Across Categories

Good-for-you has paved the way in many categories, and Mmmly is taking the reins in cookies. Consumers are looking for delicious products that offer holistic, functional benefits like digestive and gut health support. Upon Mmmly’s entrance into the market, prebiotics grew the cookie & snack bar categories 13%+ in dollar growth (SPINS Natural Enhanced Channel & Conventional Multi-Outlet (powered by Circana); 52 Weeks Ending 06.18.23).

Consumers want health and indulgence, and they aren’t willing to compromise. That’s why at Mmmly, we say:

"Have Your Cookies and Eat Them Too"

Mmmly delivers a home run nutritional profile - purposeful ingredients that delight on taste with amazing health benefits... 

(1) 6-7g of Plant Protein (2x the protein)

(2) 4-5g of Apple Sugar (40% less sugar)

(3) 7g of prebiotic fiber for gut health

(4) Good fats

(5) Balanced macros

(6) Satisfies hunger

…in 4 delicious flavors: Dark Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Banana Chocolate Chip, and our Chocolate Hazelnut flavor currently being developed in partnership with celebrity-owned TBH.

Mmmly is a Grade Above the Competition

A History of Significant Enterprise Value Creation

Our dream is to delight as many consumers as possible with the opportunity to indulge in a product they love while absorbing health benefits.

Our current focus is on nailing priority objectives that empower us to scale profitably. In doing so, we expect to emerge as an attractive acquisition target for strategics who can take Mmmly to the next level when the time is right through the right infrastructure, economies of scale, etc.

Demand for good-for-you indulgence products will continue to grow and is predicted to remain a growth priority for multinationals such as Mondelez, Pepperidge Farms, PepsiCo, and others.

World Class Advisors and Investors

Mmmly has spent time building a world class investor/advisory board, including executives with former experiences at Oatly, Super Coffee, Siggi's, Quest Nutrition, AB InBev, Johnson and Johnson, Dream Pops, and more.

We've had the privilege of relying on this incredible group for advice on key commercial decisions and will continue to opportunistically add to the team.

JOIN OUR TEAM!

Our vision is to make a lasting impact on the cookie sector and beyond! Investing in the early days at a ~$4M valuation provides an incredible opportunity to achieve a great return on invested capital.

1) support upcoming retail launches (inventory production, promotional spend)
