My name is Crystelle Daiz, and I am a co-founder of Acre & Paw Pet Food, a Canadian venture focused on bringing differentiated premium fresh pet food products to market.
We are currently seeking an angel investor or strategic investment partner to support our next phase of commercialization and growth.
What makes this opportunity interesting is that we are not starting from an idea. We are building on an existing product platform with demonstrated market demand.
Our flagship product, Tru-Raw Pets, has already completed two commercial production runs, both of which sold out. We are now preparing to bring the product back to market with an expanded commercial strategy and the foundation for longer-term growth.
The Business Opportunity
Acre & Paw is built around a differentiated premium fresh pet food platform featuring a distinctive raw, ready-to-cook format, nutrition-focused formulations, and proprietary patent-pending technology.
The key groundwork is already in place, including:
- Developed product formulations and nutritional documentation.
- Established product specifications and manufacturing approach.
- Defined sourcing and production strategy.
- Commercialization plans and identified routes to market.
- An experienced founding team with complementary technical, operational, and commercial capabilities.
Our immediate objective is to secure the working capital required to initiate production, establish inventory, and execute our commercial relaunch. Subject to funding and completion of final production requirements, our target is to begin commercial sales within approximately two months.
Beyond our own branded products, we see additional growth potential through private-label and co-manufacturing opportunities, creating the foundation for a broader pet food manufacturing business.
The Founding Team
Acre & Paw was founded by three partners bringing complementary experience across companion-animal nutrition, product development, operations, manufacturing, sales, and commercial development.
I bring experience in companion-animal nutrition and product formulation and am completing a Master’s degree in Veterinary Sciences focused on companion-animal nutrition. My co-founders bring extensive operational, pet food industry, sales, and commercial relationship experience.
Together, we bring more than 40 years of combined experience across relevant operational, industry, and commercial disciplines.
The Investment Opportunity
We are looking to connect with angel investors and strategic partners who recognize the potential of a differentiated Canadian pet food business with an existing commercial track record and a defined path toward growth. We are particularly interested in connecting with individuals who have experience or interests in pet food, food manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, distribution, or emerging businesses.
We are open to discussing an investment partnership that aligns with our immediate commercialization requirements and longer-term business objectives. We believe there is an opportunity to build something meaningful in an evolving market, supported by an established product foundation, an experienced team, and a clear commercial direction.
If this opportunity aligns with your investment interests, I would welcome an introductory conversation. Further business details and investor materials can be shared with interested, qualified parties.
Please feel free to contact me directly through CFIN. We would be pleased to arrange an introductory meeting online or in person.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to connecting with potential investment partners.
