Brittany Chibe, Founder of Paleo Scavenger
Hi! My name is Brittany Chibe and I’m the founder of Paleo Scavenger. I started PS in June 2014 with the mission to share my tasty, paleo granola with the world. Prior to that, I was a national account sales manager for six years calling on some of the largest retailers in the world for a major dairy company. I truly enjoyed my job, but while earning my MBA, I launched a tech start-up and competed in global business plan competitions pitching to some of the biggest VC firms in the country. Upon graduating, I knew there was more for me to do than sell dairy products. Even though I raised initial seed funding for my tech start-up, I decided to leave and follow my passion for food.
I started eating a paleo diet in 2013 while training for a half marathon, and my diet quickly turned into a new lifestyle. It became difficult to find snacks that fit within the parameters of the paleo diet. It was as if I was on a constant scavenger hunt at the grocery store searching for paleo-friendly snacks. So…I started making my own. I have always had a passion for baking, so I made my own granola and carried it with me for a quick on-the-go treat. After sharing it with family, friends and other paleo foodies, I was encouraged to package and sell it. I took my product to local gyms and farmers markets to sample and sell the product and got instant customer validation. People loved it! And would pay for it! After determining there was a real market for my product, I left the corporate world behind to work on Paleo Scavenger full time. I feel so lucky and honored to be doing what I love and making products that people truly enjoy and feel good about eating.
The hunt for healthy, tasty granola without grains ends here! Paleo Scavenger Granola is handcrafted with simple ingredients and healthy fats that you can indulge in…or share! Paleo Scavenger was launched in June 2014 with the mission to share their tasty, paleo snacks with the world. Knowing the struggle for finding healthy on-the-go snacks was the inspiration for Paleo Scavenger— because they know everyone shared in this problem— so they began to sell their Paleo Scavenger Granola at local events in Chicago, Illinois.
This is a great granola, and made with only the best quality ingredients, and is perfect for anyone on the go adhering to a grain-free, Paleo Diet.
