Laird Superfood Inc.

LSF

Laird Superfood is an emerging consumer products platform focused on manufacturing and marketing highly differentiated plant-based and functional foods. The Laird Superfood brand is increasingly recognized and trusted by a growing number of consumers. The core pillars of the Laird Superfood platform are currently Superfood Creamer coffee creamers, Hydrate hydration products and beverage enhancing supplements, and roasted and instant coffees, teas and hot chocolate. Over time, Laird Superfood plans to aggressively and strategically grow revenues by further penetrating the multi-billion-dollar market opportunity presented by our current product lines, as well as expanding our platform to include additional products that meet our strict plant-based ingredient criteria to diversify our revenue base and increase Laird Superfood’s total addressable market (“TAM”) opportunity.

Laird Superfood was founded in 2015 by friends and surfing partners, Laird Hamilton and Paul Hodge. Mr. Hamilton is one of the best-known big wave surfers in the world and well respected for his innovation in many board sports. Mr. Hodge is an entrepreneur who has built numerous environmentally and socially conscious companies in the solar, home technology, electric transportation and sporting industries. Mr. Hamilton has long sought different ways to derive the maximum possible energy from natural food sources to carry him through some of the most grueling surf and exercise sessions in the world. With the need to stay in the water for four to six hours per session, Mr. Hamilton experimented with blends of espresso and a variety of natural fats, such as coconut oil, to create beverages designed to provide stable and long-lasting sources of energy.

After years of development and personal trial, Mr. Hamilton created a plant-based recipe consisting of coconut-based ingredients and Aquamin, a mineral rich, calcified sea algae harvested off the coast of Iceland. Mr. Hamilton found these special ingredients provided him with an extended boost of energy beyond a traditional cup of coffee. With the help of several industry veterans, Mr. Hodge spent fourteen months testing over seventy different formulations searching for a recipe that could be produced in a cost-effective and scalable manner in order to bring affordable and convenient consumption to consumers. In July 2015, Laird Superfood launched its first product, the Original Superfood Creamer.

Gabrielle Reece, who serves as our Chief Brand Ambassador and is married to Mr. Hamilton, also contributed actively to developing Laird Superfood’s debut products. Ms. Reece is a professional athlete, media personality and Nike’s first female spokeswoman. Her passion for healthy living and fitness expertise make her an influential voice in the world of health and wellness, particularly with a female audience. Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Hodge and Ms. Reece are committed to optimizing nutrition to improve consumer health and achieve peak performance through a platform of Laird Superfood products that taste great and are accessible to the general public.
