Bare Snacks, one of the fastest growing healthy snack brands in the U.S., announces the closing of $9.25 million in equity financing. The money will be used to accelerate growth by expanding capacity, adding to the management team, building the brand, and funding working capital.

NGEN Partners led the round, with Avrio Capital and Silas Capital co-investing.

'We are excited to have three experienced partners helping us accomplish our mission: to provide guilt-free snacks to those who care about their health and what they eat, without compromising taste or satisfaction,' said Brad Oberwager, Bare Snacks' CEO.

'The demand for healthy snacks is a megatrend and we believe that Bare Snacks provides consumers with delicious, good-for-you products,' said Rosemary Ripley, Managing Director of NGEN. 'We are excited by the potential for the brand to play a leadership role in this growing category.'
