Join us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The DMV Business Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Sevilla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as we share the journey of Abe Kamarck, the Founder and CEO of True Made Foods. He shares his childhood story, growing up in various places, including the DC area, Brooklyn, New York, and Bethesda, Maryland. He has fond memories of his time in the DC area, where he attended public schools in Montgomery County. He also mentions his experience of living in Brooklyn, which was vastly different from the Brooklyn of today.
Abe moved back to the DMV area and is grateful for the freedom and safety he experiences. He reveals that he started True Made Foods to provide for his family, who are all attending Fairfax County public schools. He highlights the advantages of living in the DMV area, including great public schools and diverse opportunities.
Abe shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting with his work for a local charity, launching a social impact coffee from Uganda. After the charity ran out of funds, Abe took a severance package and started True Made Foods. He was inspired to create a sugar-free ketchup using carrots and butternut squash to hide extra veggies in kids' food. The company launched its ketchup in 2018, which has done well nationwide, with distribution in various grocery stores and online platforms.
True Made Foods has expanded its product line to include barbecue sauces, partnering with pit masters Ed Mitchell and Ryan Mitchell from North Carolina. The company aims to reduce sugar content in its barbecue sauces, which are commonly high in high fructose corn syrup or cane sugar. The products are now available in various stores and venues, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Fresh Market, Wegmans, and Audi Field.
Like many businesses, True Made Foods has faced challenges, including the pandemic and post-pandemic inflation. However, the company remains focused on profitability and is committed to continuing to innovate and expand its product line. Abe is passionate about providing healthier alternatives to conventional condiments and is dedicated to making a positive impact on the food industry.
Don't miss a comprehensive overview of Abe's life, career, and entrepreneurial journey, as well as the story of True Made Foods. It highlights the challenges and triumphs of the company and provides insights into the world of healthy food options.
