Ripi

In the summer of 2020, during the early months of COVID-19, Ian Tecklin was shopping at a grocery store and thought to himself that the current frozen ravioli offerings were lacking and that he could do better. Ian wanted to bring to market tasty ravioli he’s had in restaurants, but with the convenience of being ready-made and available frozen. Working with his chef friend Joe Sato, the duo tinkered with recipes to bring delicious ravioli to the masses. Joe and Ian then enlisted the design agency Truffl for #branding and #packaging, resulting in Ripi. Read and see more on The Dieline >>> https://lnkd.in/ejhyRjtV

I'm so excited to officially announce the launch of my first company, Ripi! Ripi is a frozen pasta brand focused on creating restaurant-worthy stuffed pasta without the reservation. Our goal is to empower home chefs by providing more sophisticated yet accessible (and delicious) pasta that they can enjoy from the comfort of their own home! At Ripi, our mission is simple: we handle the hard stuff so you can enjoy more of the good stuff. We source the best ingredients from sustainable farms, craft every bite with care and flash-freeze our pasta at peak freshness. Whether it's slow-braised short rib, roasted sweet potato or gooey chicken parm, each ravioli is packed with flavors you'd expect from a top restaurant - but made to enjoy from your home or wherever life takes you! There are so many people to thank who have helped get Ripi to this point. From my family, friends, investors, advisors (Jeffrey Gendelman David Greenfeld Kendall Dickieson Sam Franklin), world-class brand agency (Truffl Branding Agency Raphael Farasat), commercial partners, and of course our amazing chef (Joe Sasto), their support and guidance along the way has been instrumental. Now it's time to sell some pasta! Please follow @ripifoods on social, check out our website (www.ripifoods.com) for more information, and keep an eye out for Ripi coming to a retailer near you soon!
