The gluten-free aisle has been a wasteland of chalky breads and crumbly tortillas—usually full of gums, seed oils, and mystery ingredients you can’t pronounce.PACHA is changing that.Our sprouted buckwheat bread is made from just 2 ingredients + organic herbs and spices. No gums. No fillers. No BS. And now, we’ve taken that same clean, gut-friendly magic and made what we believe is the first-ever sourdough buckwheat tortilla.It’s pliable, nourishing, and actually tastes like real food. No wonder we hear this all the time: “It’s the only bread I can eat.” (And we’re already getting that about the tortilla, too.)... made by a company that gives a s$%*.At PACHA, we’re in the game for a purpose even greater than giving people food that’s actually good for their bodies. Our mission is to nourish the health of people AND our planet with nutritious food. Our sprouted buckwheat bread is inclusive to all kinds of dieters — on top of being gluten-free and organic, our products are plant-based and free of the top 9 food allergens. And we are also uncompromising in our commitment to not-just-greenwashed sustainability. We believe that by creating the kind of product and packaging people never knew they could demand, businesses like PACHA can drive real change in a broken food system. Our ingredients are sourced from regenerative farms that are taking care of our nation’s precious topsoil, and our packaging is 100% home-compostable.Some super exciting news for 2025…PACHA is heading into all Sprouts locations nationwide this September with 3 SKUs (460 Stores). In November, we’ll expand into four Albertsons regions (791 stores total). And in December, our sourdough buckwheat tortillas will launch in Whole Foods stores nationwide, marking a major milestone for our fastest-growing product line.We are currently building a custom tortilla press to automate our tortilla manufacturing line. Because we make our tortillas with only 2 ingredients and we sprout and ferment them), our process is much different than a typical tortilla manufacturing line. This requires custom equipment which we have designed specifically for our process. Above is a drawing of the equipment (some details withheld). Our throughput will be increasing from 2,000 units per day to over 6,000 units per day with the new press.And you KNOW we’ve made some progress since our last raise…Otherwise known as... amazing delicious to-die-for exclusive flavor drops!Real Food is the Future – and PACHA is paving the way.The biggest shift in food today isn’t just about avoiding gluten—it’s about returning to real food as real nourishment.Across the grocery store, consumers are turning away from hyper-processed products and demanding shorter ingredient lists, whole food formulations, and transparency they can feel good about. -- In the meat aisle, Impossible™ and Beyond™ are losing ground to black bean and lentil burgers.-- In snacks, ultra-processed protein bars are being replaced by fruit-and-nut bites like RXBAR or LÄRABAR.-- Even oat milk—once a healthy darling of the dairy-free world—is being re-evaluated for added sugars and processing, with hemp, almond, and sesame milks gaining traction for their simplicity. Brands like Califia are getting wise and removing all gums and seed oils from their formulations.PACHA is built for this Real Food moment.Our products don’t mimic bread or tortillas. We redefine them by using just two ingredients, sprouted and fermented buckwheat and sea salt, with no gums, no fillers, and no shortcuts. That clarity gives us a strategic edge in winning consumer trust and building long-term brand loyalty.And we’re not just riding a trend—we’re positioned to lead in two rapidly growing markets:The gluten-free bread market is expected to more than double, from $733M in 2024 to $1.73B by 2034, driven by rising food sensitivities and demand for bread that’s both digestible and delicious.The U.S. tortilla market, already over $7.1B, is seeing increased demand for non-corn, grain-free options that don’t rely on ultra-processed starches or gums. PACHA’s sourdough buckwheat tortilla is one of only two certified organic, gluten-free, non-corn tortillas on the market.Future projections are not guaranteed.Our star ingredient, Buckwheat, is on its way to culinary stardomBuckwheat is having a moment—and we’re here for it. Once overlooked, this ancient seed is now gaining traction as the next big thing in plant-based nutrition. Whole Foods Market named buckwheat a top-trending ingredient in their 2024 Trends Report, citing its versatility, gut-friendliness, and complete amino acid profile. It's naturally gluten-free, rich in antioxidants, fiber, and magnesium, and has a mild, nutty flavor that works across cultures and categories.At PACHA, we built our entire product line around sprouted buckwheat—long before it was trending—because it nourishes both people and planet. As the U.S. wakes up to its benefits, we're positioned to lead the charge in bringing buckwheat-based foods to more tables nationwide.Our Sales at WFM Nationwide are strong, and our partnership is even stronger. PACHA launched nationwide in Whole Foods in October 2023—and the growth has been incredible. We’ve doubled our SKUs on shelf (from 3 to 6) and are on pace to nearly double our sales. Our first in-store promotion drove a 60% lift in unit sales, outperforming industry benchmarks, and we’ve maintained a 30%+ lift in the weeks since.Beyond performance, our relationship with Whole Foods runs deep. PACHA is one of a select few brands with a Warrants deal—a partnership reserved for companies Whole Foods sees long-term potential in. Our buyer has shared that PACHA perfectly aligns with their vision of a future rooted in regenerative farming, allergen-friendly innovation, and compostable packaging.We’re proud to be the only organic, gluten-free bread brand on Whole Foods shelves nationwide—and we’re just getting started.Online sales are growing – Even as we spend less.PACHA has fulfilled over 130,000 direct-to-consumer orders, generating more than $5.5 million in online revenue to date. And we’re doing it more efficiently than ever.In August of 2024, we began releasing limited-edition seasonal flavors like Pumpkin Spice, Carrot Cake, and Chocolate Cherry. These flavor drops have consistently sold out—often in less than 48 hours—and they’ve proven to be a powerful engine for growth. They've driven higher average order values, kept our email audience engaged, and allowed us to reduce ad spend while maintaining and even increasing overall revenue.Our email channel now accounts for 39% of DTC revenue, and 40% of customers return to purchase again, often to grab new flavors or restock on their favorites. Meanwhile, our Meta campaigns remain first-order profitable, with ROAS holding steady even as we pull back on budget.PACHA's DTC engine is no longer just about acquisition—it’s about loyalty, community, and demand we can’t keep up with.*https://www.bigcommerce.com/articles/ecommerce/conversion-rate-optimization/ Poised for profitability in 2027PACHA is entering a phase of rapid, capital-efficient growth across both retail and DTC. With confirmed launches into Sprouts, Albertsons, and a national rollout of our tortillas in Whole Foods, we’re projecting significant revenue gains over the next 24 months. Our growth plan anticipates strong year-over-year increases, supported by more efficient operations, a loyal returning customer base, and a streamlined production model.We’re on track to reach profitability in 2027, with a clear path mapped out through expanded retail distribution, improved margins from automation, and rising reorder volume online. What we need now is the capital to fuel this final stage of growth and take PACHA from scrappy challenger to nationwide staple.Future projections are not guaranteed.Forward-looking projections are not guaranteed.Real Food Made Simple: For Everyone.Here at PACHA, we specialize in crafting sprouted buckwheat bread and tortillas that make your body, the planet, and your tastebuds happy. We sell 6 varieties of organic sourdough buckwheat bread — Sourdough Buckwheat Loaves in Original Buckwheat, Multiseed, Cinnamon Raisin, and “Rye” varieties as well as Original and Multiseed Sourdough English Muffins – and now we also sell Sourdough Buckwheat Tortillas!Our topseller and flagship products – the OG Buckwheat Loaf \u0026amp; OG Buckwheat English Muffins – are crafted from only TWO ingredients (sprouted buckwheat and sea salt). For our other flavors, we start with the buckwheat base and add some organic seasonings and herbs, like nutritional yeast and caraway seed. What is guar gum? Who cares – you won’t find it (or any other unfamiliar stuff) on our nutrition facts panels. PACHA is a new kind of bread with an emphasis on inclusivity. We are plant-based, non-GMO, free of the top 9 food allergens, certified gluten-free and organic, and verified regenerative.We choose buckwheat as the star ingredient of our products because of its utility as a cover crop in soil-building farm practices, and we source most of our buckwheat from regenerative farms. We source over 70% of our buckwheat from regenerative farmers in Minnesota and North \u0026amp; South Dakota and all of our regular bread offerings are verified Regenerative through the Soil \u0026amp; Climate Initiative. On top of that, each of our products are packed in a home-compostable bread bag made of potato starch and manufactured in the US. Even the clip closure is compostable – it’s made from cardboard instead of plastic 👍Our products are the answer to so many dieters’ no-bread conundrum – especially as more people are reaching for foods made from simple, whole ingredients they can trust. But don’t just take our word for how delicious our products are. Here’s some real feedback from thousands of happy customers:Founded by beloved plant-based restaurateurs and successful entrepreneursPACHA was founded in 2020 as a joint venture between Boochcraft co-founder Adam Hiner, his wife Maddie Hamann, and a team of local plant-based restaurateurs: Trilogy Sanctuary LLC. Trilogy is a beloved rooftop cafe and yoga space in San Diego – the only 100% organic eateries in town with an award-winning Plant-based / Gluten-Free menu. Because they couldn’t find a reliable, high-quality gluten-free bread option, Trilogy used funds from its successful high-volume business model to get PACHA off the ground, and Trilogy became PACHA’s primary investor. Its owners (Joe Caldera, Leila Caldera, Will Buttner, and Brooke Flynn) sit on PACHA’s board of directors to advise and assist with business development and raising capital.Day-to-day operations, executive strategy, and marketing are managed by husband-and-wife duo Adam \u0026amp; Maddie, while Maddie’s brother Thomas leads our production team—which also includes three families on staff. PACHA is truly a family business, and we like it that way. It’s part of why we’re not raising this money from some faceless VC—we want our growth to reflect our values.We’re also guided by some of the best minds in the industry. Maddie is advised by Kristel Corson, former CMO of Clif Bar, LUNA, and Traditional Medicinals. Adam is advised by Ahmed Rahim, co-founder of Numi Organic Tea. And our sales are led by Mateo Sluder, who helped grow Guayaki Yerba Mate from $24M to $72M in revenue.PACHA is also a great place to work. We pay 25% above minimum wage, and our employee retention rate is high because we’ve built a culture that values people, purpose, and long-term commitment.PACHA checks all the boxesAcross the board, PACHA checks all the boxes—while most of our competitors miss the mark. Our bread is one of only two certified organic and gluten-free breads available nationwide. Our new sourdough buckwheat tortillas are one of only two organic, gluten-free tortillas on the market not made from corn.Both products are also sprouted, plant-based, nut-free, seed-oil-free, sugar-free, and binder-free, and they come in 100% home-compostable packaging. That means no weird ingredients, no allergens, and no plastic waste.PACHA is made for the people who—like our founders—had given up on bread (and tortillas). We’re here for every shopper who's tired of food wrapped in plastic and stuffed with gums, fillers, seed oils, and glyphosate. We're not just making better bread—we're reimagining what real food can be.Here's where you come in..We’re opening our third—and most exciting—round of investment on Wefunder to invite our community to grow with us. The first $250,000 of ownership units are priced at $16.43 per unit price. Then the Regular price will be with a pre-money valuation of $22,435,742. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!Your investment will help fuel PACHA’s next chapter—focused on scaling retail sales, launching our tortillas into national grocery chains, and improving packaging efficiency. Specifically:$520,000 will support retail growth through marketing, promotions, and slotting fees$100,000 will go toward upgrading our packaging lines for both bread and tortillasThis isn’t just an investment in food—it’s an investment in a food system rooted in transparency, sustainability, and nourishment. We’d love for you to be part of it.PACHA is growing fast, fueled by a vision of food that’s clean, regenerative, and radically inclusive. Your investment helps us scale that vision—replacing ultra-processed, wasteful products with real nourishment for people and the planet. Let’s build it together.","location":"San Diego, CA","website":"https://livepacha.com","total_amount_raised":1636935,"total_investors":1431,"is_funded":true,"is_active":true,"quality_score":3,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/pacha","https://livepacha.com"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/130350/xxl_blob.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/130350/large_blob.png","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/130350/standard_blob.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/130350/standard_blob.jpg"},"links":{"company_url":"https://livepacha.com","linkedin_url":"https://linkedin.com/company/live-pacha","facebook_url":"https://www.facebook.com/livepachaofficial/","instagram_url":"https://www.instagram.com/livepacha/","youtube_url":"https://www.youtube.com/@live_pacha","blog_url":"https://livepacha.com/blogs/news"},"highlights":[{"id":75539,"name":"fast_growth","url":"fastgrowth","presentable_name":"Fast Growth","description":"Revenue growing 2X/yr for at least prior 6 months","image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/2021/profile-highlights-bar-graph.svg"},{"id":75537,"name":"repeat_founder","url":"repeatfounder","presentable_name":"Repeat Founder","description":"Started a prior company with $2M+ in funding or revenue","image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/2021/profile-highlights-replay.svg"}],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"$6.5M run rate (170% YOY growth)"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"High-velocity sales and nationwide distribution with Whole Foods \u0026amp; Sprouts."},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"\u0026gt;4700 new Points of Distribution coming in 2025 (Sprouts, Albertson's, Tortillas @ Whole Foods )"},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Created by the founder of Boochcraft Organic Hard Kombucha"},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"Our Allergen-free recipe has only TWO ingredients: Sprouted Buckwheat and Salt!"},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"Bread that’s good for the gut: No gums, no fillers, no bloat."},{"index":7,"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"Leading packaging innovation in the bread category with 100% home-compostable packaging"},{"index":8,"claim_id":"claim-fact-8","value":"FIRST and ONLY verified regenerative bread sold nationwide"}],"team":[{"id":3384503,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:3384503","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:2828380","role":"founder","name":"Adam Hiner","title":"CEO","bio":"Adam has founded 4 companies in the food and beverage space including \"Boochcraft\" -- the 1st hard kombucha in the world and currently the market leader.","avatar_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company_role/custom_photo/3384503/square_blob.jpg?1709057911","profile_url":"https://wefunder.com/adam.hiner","linkedin_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamhiner/","related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/adam.hiner"]},{"id":3384518,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:3384518","role":"founder","name":"Madeleine Hamann","title":"Director of Marketing","bio":"A PhD Oceanographer gone rogue in order to take real action towards a sustainable economy.

Here are some insights into your questions: **Gross margin expansion levers:** We are currently investing in automation to reduce labor cost per unit, which we expect will become a major driver of margin expansion. A significant improvement is anticipated toward the end of 2026 as more automation systems are commissioned. Another key lever is scaling revenue, since we are currently operating at approximately 30% capacity utilization, and increased volume improves efficiency across the board. **Whole Foods impact on margins:** Whole Foods operates similarly to other grocery retail partners. We sell at the same wholesale pricing structure to our distributors, so Whole Foods does not materially change gross margins compared to other retail channels. **Long-term gross margin targets:** We are targeting approximately 35% by the end of 2026, 45% in 2027, and around 49% in the long term. **Debt and lease obligations as we scale:** As we grow, we plan to continue adding equipment and will likely use equipment financing alongside those investments. We are also exploring asset-based lending options to help manage cash flow as we scale. Overall, the strategy is focused on becoming increasingly efficient while continuing to support strong growth. For additional financial details, we always recommend referring to the information available on our Wefunder page.

Answering them in order here: 1. The combo of the way our product is produced (sprouted seeds / fermented - takes 2 days and requires specialized equipment) and the way we are distributed (nationwide to retailers) frozen is actually the best way to maintain the product freshness. We have only 2 weeks from production if refrigerated only before the product spoils. We are looking into ways to extend that. 2. We do carry some inventory but try to strike a balance so that we don't have too much cash outlay sitting in finished goods. With frozen product, it's OK to produce ahead of time. Freezer space is limited, too, of course ;) 3. We ship guaranteed 2-day with FedEx 4. It's not really a secret... there are recipes that you can find online that are similar. But, it's a longer process and one that other industrial bakeries cannot mimic due to the need for specialized equipment. Also, most people aren't willing to do the work to make their own bread! 5. Current LTV is around $60, but, it's skewed a little low because we are acquiring so many new customers right now. This value is DTC only -- we don't have data on our retail customers. 6. One big risk is supply chain / climate effects on yields. We are working directly with farmers and contracting both acreage through direct contracts, and poundage through a mill so we have some redundancy. Buckwheat is also a super climate resilient crop, thankfully! Hopefully those are helpful -- let me know if you have any other follow-ups!","author_name":"Maddie Hamann","votes":2,"created_at":"2024-03-19T18:43:30Z"}]},{"id":237075,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:237075","question":"I see from the pitch that the proceeds from this funding round will be used to secure new manufacturing equipment. One of your responses to my previous questions was, \"We could not find a single co-manufacturer in the country that could make our product with existing equipment.\" Are you currently manufacturing in-house or using a copacker who had to buy new equipment to produce this product? At what capacity would you need to operate your own new equipment to be cash-flow positive? Is that percent capacity based on single shift, meaning you could effectively double your capacity by running two shifts if the demand was there to support it, and perhaps add a third shift before having to procure more equipment?

We are currently making our own product in-house using less sophisticated equipment (more manual labor). We would need to do about 10x what we are currently doing to be cash flow positive. It will depend on the piece of equipment that we are talking about. Some of the equipment we buy will be able to handle far more growth than that and other pieces will need to be replaced or duplicated as we hit 15x or more. This is all being done with an overlapping double shift and room for growth by adding a true 2nd shift and a 3rd shift.

As you look to scale, we have a couple of follow-up questions on your operations and long-term strategy. You've mentioned in the past that your specialized production process is both a moat and a challenge for co-packers. As you scale towards and beyond the $10-12M revenue capacity of your current equipment, while also upgrading your packaging lines, what key operational hurdles do you anticipate? Furthermore, how will that scaling path impact your unit economics and the potential for future price reductions for the consumer? Additionally, regarding a potential exit, you've previously outlined a few scenarios. As the company has matured and the market for health-focused CPG brands has evolved, has your strategic thinking on the ideal exit path and timeline been refined?

We will be approaching capacity at or around $12-$15M in revenue in our current facility. I have see that we have a short term solution and some long term options here. The short term solution is to move all of our warehousing and raw materials to a warehouse next door allowing us to expand our production capabilities. This will be a potential temporary solution but could provide quite a bit of additional capacity. In the long term we need to decide if it will make sense to open a 2nd facility and operate two different facilities or to build a new facility to house our entire operation. I don't yet know the answer to this question but we are working hard to evaluate the options. Scaling the operation will certainly impact our unit economics postively. We will likely not be able to pass this onto the consumer in any meaningful way as it will be the additional margin that helps us breakthrough to profitability. As we scale beyond the $15M mark and continue to see unit economics improve then we might see some savings passed to the consumer but that will also depend on the price of raw materials at that point. Our timeline for exit as a company is undertermined at this time but we are looking for exit opportunities for our investors. There are many scenarios that could result in an exit for some or all investors outside of the co-founders and we continue to explore those options with each fundraising round. If I had to give my best guess I would think that some or all investors will have an opportunity to exit in the next 1 to 5 years.","author_name":"Adam Hiner","votes":0,"created_at":"2025-08-14T23:27:41Z"}]},{"id":312704,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:312704","question":"Hi Adam, I trust this message finds you well since we last emailed in 2023.

If I give you $200, how much you are projecting I would get per month... or per quarter... or per year...? How many share is $200? Thank you","answer":"The share price for early bird investors is $6 so you would get 33.33 shares. We do not anticipate paying a dividend any time soon. Your return would likely come in the form of increased share value over time. Then if we sell all or part of the company in the future you would see your return through the sale of your shares. If we do get to profitability and we are not growing rapidly we could pay a dividend as well."},{"question":"1. What's the roadmap on investment exit? 2. How does exit work? 3. Do you accept investment from overseas? 4. What is the capital gains tax for investment? 5. What are the reporting obligations to investors?","answer":"Hello Brett! The roadmap for exit is roughly 5 years give or take a couple of years. Exit could look like us selling the entire company or taking a large investment from a big strategic company that buys out all of the smaller investors. We do accept investment from overseas as long as WeFunder can process it. There is no capital gains tax for investment, just capital gains tax when you sell your shares. We are an LLC taxed as a partnership so the gains and losses are passed through to shareh..."},{"question":"Hi, was considering an investment but was not clear if there are different classes of stock; also how many shares are currently outstanding, how may are being issued as part of this current offering (both under this Reg CF and under Reg D), and then how many shares are authori...","answer":"Aimee yes there are 2 different classes of units. All of our co-founders and previous investors have common units including those in the Reg D raise although we may be converting them to preferred which would leave just the founders with common units. We currently have 754,691 units of common outstanding. We have authorized 177,381 units of preferred for the Reg CF raise. We have an additional 167,000 units authorized for the Red D raise.

What can stop another company from taking your recipes for themselves?","answer":"There is no such thing as patents on recipes. You can not protect a product recipe aside from keeping it secret. The time that it takes to make our product and the specialized equipment would make it very hard for a typical bread manufacturer to steal the recipe and start making it. They would need to build a completely new facility. We are also the first to market with a bread like this and we are growing fast. Ultimately, it would be great if more breads like ours were available. There is p..."}]}}}
