James Remeika shared thisThis has been such an exciting merger to work on; truly a 2 + 2 = 10 scenario.James Remeika shared thisI'm so proud to officially announce the Splendid Spoon union with Mosaic Foods, alongside financing by Gather Ventures. Driven by a steadfast belief that the quality of our food improves the quality of our lives, Elise Densborn and I have been grateful to work side by side with fellow Mosaic founders Matthew Davis and Sam McIntire to integrate our teams under a vertically integrated, 'full-stack better-for-you' business model. The merger unites Splendid Spoon's innovation and branding capabilities with Mosaic Foods' in-house commercialization and manufacturing. With over 200 plant-based and vegetarian meals, snacks and beverages, and $190M in cumulative revenue, Splendid Spoon Inc now offers one of the most robust lineups of vegetarian and plant-forward ready-made products. Our teams have spent over 10 years innovating functional, plant-forward meals, sides and beverages for discerning D2C consumers and we’re scaling these learnings for the growing fast-fine food service space. Our process balances human touch with automation—it's faster and more successful without sacrificing quality. Our vertically integrated hub, located 20 miles outside NYC in Woodland Park, NJ, has developed and validated over 100 SKUs for specialty food, organic restaurant chains and private label, with bespoke capabilities for new entrants launching healthy, plant-forward meals into retail. After a year-plus of team merger and integration work it is inspiring to see how impactful our innovation and commercialization expertise has been in the fast-growing restaurant and food service space. Laurent Francois co-founder and CEO of organic restaurant group Le Botaniste, shares: "Consistency and quality have always come first as we expand. Partnering with Mosaic and Splendid Spoon is the natural next phase in our growth. Our values align, and they provide fresh, organic, high-quality products that support our growth while allowing us to focus on operations. Having lived through similar scaling challenges, they're perfectly equipped to support us with care and empathy. We’re truly grateful for their collaboration and expertise." Quality will always be at the core of great food, and we're simply thrilled to have the opportunity to scale this capability for other mission-aligned specialty food and restaurant chains. Huge thanks to our phenomenal team of makers, food and technology engineers, customer care representatives, operators and people managers for making it all possible. We are only as strong as we are collaborative, and I'm humbled to work next to each of you day after day. Let's go 🚀 https://lnkd.in/estitKwq

James Remeika shared thisWhat is your priority today? Is it more important than engaging in HTML5 pedantry with me? https://lnkd.in/eyPXYfzVHow can I reset the heading tag hierarchy within an HTML5 document?How can I reset the heading tag hierarchy within an HTML5 document?

James Remeika posted thisA week later, still thinking about “Long Long Time”. The best hour of television I’ve seen in ages. ——- To ruin this post and get all corporate: most of our jobs are like 70% communication, including mine, but man, I don’t know! How do you draw an audience through such a deep narrative arc, and have them 100% **in** by minute 50 so you can twist this beautiful dagger in their chests by the end of the hour?!?! Constraining giant narratives into small time spans is a god/goddess-like power.

James Remeika liked thisJames Remeika liked thisI don’t wait for “bring your daughter to work day” to bring my daughter to work. This is largely because school holidays provide ample opportunity for all my kids to join me at work. This is simply how we get it done on some days. When Charlotte arrived with me last week and we invited her to take a tour she was in quiet awe — the machinery, the process, the stacks of boxes reading Splendid Spoon and Mosaic Foods . She watched the women in hair nets organizing their teams, checking food temps, maneuvering fork lifts. She let them guide her into her own hair net and lab coat and hand washing protocol. I didn’t have to tell her that girls can lead kitchens or women can be managers or girls can grow up to be decision makers. Only 2% of food manufacturing companies in this country are owned by women. Women hold just 26% of leadership positions across the manufacturing industry — and even in food and beverage, the sector most likely to have female leaders, that number climbs only to 30%. My daughter doesn’t know any of that yet. She just saw the Splendid Spoon kitchen, and the many women (and yes men too!) who make it hum, and thought: I could belong here too. That’s the whole point. The actual inheritance — the willingness to stay in the room when it’s hard, to care how something is made. She reminded me why I started and why I love what I do: because sometimes the most powerful moments in parenting, in leadership, are those when you say nothing at all.

James Remeika reacted on thisJames Remeika reacted on thisWhen I think about the women who shaped my understanding of food science, I don't think about the ones who made nutrition simple. I think about the ones who exposed how multifactorial nutrition really is. It is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and here are some of the women who have inspried and shaped our ways of thinkig and building Splendid Spoon: Marion Nestle exposed how the food industry manipulates dietary guidelines through lobbying and "research" funding. Joan Gussow—who passed away just last month—grew her own food in her backyard for decades and wrote that "organic gummy bears" shouldn't exist because some foods simply don't deserve organic status. Frances Moore Lappé connected the hamburger on your plate to global resource depletion and democratic failure. Alvenia Fulton, a Black naturopath working in Chicago during the civil rights era, taught Dick Gregory that fasting could be both political protest and personal healing.
