A Convertible Note is debt that converts to equity. If you invest, you're betting Turchetti’s Salumeria will be worth more than $2.5M in the future.
In 2017, I took a leap. I wanted to change the way people think about charcuterie and deli meats—not as mass-produced, flavorless afterthoughts, but as high-quality, responsibly crafted foods that belong in every kitchen.
I didn’t have deep pockets or corporate backing. I had a vision, a whole lot of persistence, and a belief that we could do better. That’s how Turchetti’s started—as a small butcher shop, serving the local community in Indianapolis, proving that great meats don’t need shortcuts.
In 2019, Forbes recognized my work by naming me to their 30 Under 30 in Food & Drink—one of the youngest USDA plant owners in the country at the time. We were on track to break $1M in sales in 2020, but when the pandemic hit, we had to shift gears. We poured everything into our restaurant and market for the next few years before returning to our true passion: building a nationally recognized meat brand.
But Turchetti’s is more than just a business to me—it’s something I’ve built with my own hands. I personally framed the walls, designed our USDA production facility, and turned an empty building into a fully operational meat plant. We secured this space with a 10+ year lease, thanks to a neighbor who believed in what we were building. And we negotiated first rights to buy the property, securing our future as we scale into a national brand.
Today, we’re at a turning point. Turchetti’s is growing fast—with $500K+ in new contracts already secured this year, a new retail launch coming in Q2, and demand far exceeding what we can currently produce. This investment will allow us to scale production, automate key processes, and put Turchetti’s on shelves nationwide.
We’ve bootstrapped this company from the very beginning. Now, we’re inviting you to be part of the next stage—helping us take Turchetti’s from a fast-growing CPG brand to a national household name.

We’re raising capital to increase production, automate key processes, and meet growing demand. Now is the time to join us as we scale nationally and bring better charcuterie to the masses.
Most mass-produced deli meats and charcuterie use cheap ingredients, excessive fillers, and subpar production methods.

This investment is structured as a convertible note, meaning investors receive 5% annual interest and their investment converts into equity at a future funding event, rather than being a fixed return or revenue-share deal.
Here’s how it works:
This structure is designed to reward early investors with lower entry prices and more equity upside, aligning our success with yours.
Your investment will be used to scale production, optimize efficiency, and expand our sales reach. Investing in automation and strategic growth initiatives will increase productivity, lower costs, and allow us to capture more of the growing charcuterie and deli meats market. This funding round will directly allow us to acquire critical equipment immediately to meet demand for national account growth. With these improvements, we will be able to increase production speed by 50%, improving efficiency and capacity while reducing overall costs.
Together, our team has the experience, vision, and operational capability to scale Turchetti’s into a national leader in premium meats.
Our long-term goal is to build Turchetti’s into a nationwide grocery brand and position ourselves for an acquisition by a larger food conglomerate or a strategic CPG exit. As we scale production, expand into more retailers, and solidify our brand presence, we will be well-positioned for a lucrative exit opportunity that benefits our early investors.
This means limited availability for investors who want to be part of this next stage of growth.
