Co-founders Noramay Cadena and Shayna Harris launched Supply Change Capital, an investment firm focused on consumer brands founded by diverse entrepreneurs with mainstream appeal, sustainable ingredients and the technology required to support this shift.
Supply Change Capital’s food system was built for monocrops and highly processed foods to support a transparent, multicultural, sustainable, fresh and functional food economy.
“Multicultural founders are under-represented in today’s food system, despite having the fastest growing demographic in America,” says Harris. “Latinx, Black and Asian consumers are significantly more likely to reach for natural and organic foods. Their purchasing behavior is not only on trend, but it surpasses that of white Americans. However, the overwhelming majority of food brands are not founded or owned by entrepreneurs that match the consumer demographic.”
