Idea
Introduction
Hunter & Gather is a multi-award-winning, cross category, real food & supplements brand that provide our tribe the tools they need to thrive.
As a nation, we’ve moved away from nutrient rich diets in favour of cheap and artificially preserved foods. Chronic illness rates and obesity are at an all-time high and millions are living with or at increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
It's our mission to revolutionise the food industry by creating real food essentials and everyday supplements that put your health first.
We hunt high and low to gather only the highest quality, real food ingredients (see what we did there) and this means our tribe of loyal shoppers trust in us to create healthy products that also don’t compromise on taste (our 10 Great Taste Awards back this up).
We never use unnecessary binders, fillers, artificial preservatives, cheap inflammatory oils, refined sugars or grains, opting for ancestrally inspired real food ingredients instead (the way food should be made).

Monetisation strategy
Hunter & Gather has achieved amazing growth to date with our tribe at the heart of all that we do. We are continuing with our omnichannel approach, so that wherever a health conscious consumer shops (online or in store), we want to be available.
We will continue to drive growth via D2C and Amazon, utilising these platforms to explore additional territories such as Germany, France, Spain and Italy. A strong social media advertising strategy and UK website (launched recently in 2022) is already providing an increase in shoppers geared towards subscription. We aim to continue to improve this and invest behind the growth.
Retail is also key for our omnichannel strategy. We recently launched in over 300 Holland and Barrett stores Nationwide (Sept 2022), we will be continuing to increase our presence across the UK in physical retail, with a focus on grocery and speciality health stores throughout 2023.
Use of proceeds
Proceeds will be used for growth capital in 5 key areas:
1) Key Hires - To bring in top level talent primed for growth.
2) New Product Development - bringing innovation to market to continue to be a cross-category innovator
3) Launch & Grow key retail channels in the UK & EU with an omnichannel approach.
4) Brand Marketing Charge - Content overhaul, Social Media Advertising upgrades & brand collaborations to drive retail and D2C sales growth
5) Finalise our BCORP status (Currently pending with a 95.2 score!)
