Hodo

Hodo is a California-based food and beverage startup that specializes in creating plant-based tofu, meat, and egg alternatives. The company slogan "NEW: Egg Scramble, Made From Plants!" perfectly encapsulates Hodo's commitment to offering plant-based, delicious alternatives. Founded in 2006, Hodo has grown from a single stall at a farmers' market in Palo Alto to a widely recognized brand known for its innovative and high-quality products. Hodo's dedication to using the freshest organic ingredients is evident in its product lineup, which includes offerings like the NEW Organic Miso Tofu and Organic Indian Spiced Tofu. The company exclusively sources its organic soybeans from North American farms, ensuring that their products are made from real, high-quality ingredients. In February 2020, Hodo secured a Series B investment, with Renewal Funds participating as the lead investor. This investment reflects the confidence that leading investors have in Hodo's growth potential and its ability to carve a distinct niche in the plant-based food industry. Hodo's products are not only available across the US and Canada through various retail outlets, including Whole Foods Market, Wegman's, Publix, and Target but also served at top restaurants, ranging from Michelin-starred establishments to popular chains like Chipotle and sweetgreens. This widespread presence underlines Hodo's success in creating appealing, high-quality plant-based food options that cater to a diverse audience.
