Rabobank, the world’s premier food & agribusiness bank, has announced that True Made Foods has won the FoodBytes! Brooklyn People’s Choice Award. True Made Foods is a startup company that uses fresh vegetables to naturally sweeten its products (such as True Ketchup, True BBQ Sauce and Veracha Hot Sauce) whilst drastically cutting back on added sugar, providing consumers with a tasty healthy alternative.
The jam-packed half-day FoodBytes! event took place at The Hall at MP in Williamsburg, on Thursday, March 3rd. FoodBytes! is dedicated to helping investors in the food industry meet startups in the food and ag space that are disrupting and/or innovating in food-related software and applications, distribution, manufacturing, production and more.
The People’s Choice Award was decided by the FoodBytes! Brooklyn audience of more than 250 via SMS voting. As the FoodBytes! Brooklyn People’s Choice Award winner, True Made Foods will attend Rabobank’s premier invitation-only Client Appreciation Events this December in New York City, which attracts C-suite representation from over 300 of North America’s leading food, beverage and agribusiness companies. Additionally, True Made Foods will also receive mentorship from the IBM Watson Ecosystem team on how to bring cognitive computing and artificial intelligence to its business. True Made Foods also receives the right to use the FoodBytes! People’s Choice Award logo in its marketing material.
Abraham Kamarck, Co-Founder & CEO of True Made Foods, said, “Winning the FoodBytes! Brooklyn People’s Choice Award is humbling because the other contestants were really amazing and all we have at the end of the day is ketchup. We’ve had a tremendous response to a household product that people love, and we are very proud of that. Kevin Powell, Co-Founder and President, True Made Foods, and I are looking forward to the opportunity of presenting to over 300 food and ag CEOs in December and for them to hopefully become customers of True Made Foods. I’m also humbled to win this prize with IBM Watson and can’t wait to get started with them and think it will really help our business to go to the next level. Our promise to our customer is to always improve our products.”
