This brings the total amount of funding for the brand to $6.5 Million in just two years. KarpReilly is known for working with companies that embody ambition and innovation within the food and beverage industry, while Stage 1 Fund supports businesses in high-growth consumer product categories. As a pioneer of sweet potato snacks that "Save the Spud", Spudsy's support from these established partners will almost ensure that the brand meets its goal of saving 1,000,000 imperfect sweet potatoes by the end of 2021.

Spudsy was created in 2018 by Southern California based Ashley Boeckle, who was inspired by the traditional sweet potato to make good-for-you and good-for-the-world snacks that never compromise on taste, nutrition, or sustainability. The Spudsy team takes taste seriously, reimagining classic foods that consumers know and love by putting a healthy, sustainable twist on them with their Sweet Potato Puffs and Sweet Potato Fries. Spudsy is on a mission to #savethespud and upcycle imperfect sweet potatoes into plant-based, delicious, yummy snacks saving approximately 15,000 ugly spuds with every truckload of finished product.
