Kard Earns Spot on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kard, the leading rewards-as-a-service provider, announced today that it has made the 2023 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, with an impressive three-year revenue growth rate of 554%. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other household name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the list.

“Kard is extremely proud of this milestone achievement,” says Ben Mackinnon, CEO and Founder of Kard. “To continue growing at such a fast pace, especially during the last few years of trying times for the whole economy, is a testament to not only what we have built, but also the great opportunity we have ahead of us.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. “Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”

Amazon’s Whole Foods to triple shelf space for vertical farmer Bowery

Bowery, a vertical farming company that grows crops indoors, is getting more shelf space at Amazon’s Whole Foods, with a deal to triple the stores stocking its salad kits. Currently, Bowery’s salad kits and a selection of greens are carried at 50 Whole Foods Market stores in the Northeast. The expansion will increase the store count to 150 Whole Foods Market locations in the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast.

Bowery first broke into the market with a variety of leafy greens, but in September of last year it began marketing ready-to-eat salad kits.

“Demand for ready-to-eat, planet-positive meals is booming,” said Matt Williams, Bowery’s chief sales officer in a statement announcing the deal.

Three flavors of salad kits including Zesty Caesar, Avocado Ranch, and Balsamic Vinaigrette, will be available. The company is adding a compostable fork to the salad kits, and the deal with Whole Foods includes an expanded presence of its core products, including basil, baby romaine lettuce, baby butter, crispy leaf and baby kale.

Bowery, which ranked No. 46 on the 2023 CNBC Disruptor 50 list, currently sells its greens and salad kits through e-commerce and at over 1,900 stores. It claims to be the largest U.S. vertical farming company and has distribution deals with national food retailers including Walmart, Giant, Albertsons, Shoprite and specialty independents like DeCicco & Sons, Westside Market and Brooklyn Fare. Its products are also sold through distributors like Baldor and Four Seasons, and e-commerce grocer FreshDirect.

I met Jeff when I was an executive at Kustomer where he was our first investor. Since that time we’ve collaborated on business strategy, team building and startups in general. As my company Backbone came to life Jeff and S12F were natural partners to help launch our business.

I've known Jeff professionally now for over 6 years, first working for him in an operational capacity, and then as an advisor turned investor in my company. For any early-stage founder, Jeff is about as well-connected and helpful that you could find and has been a valuable resource to me and my team. I'm excited to continue working with him and the S12F team in the future!

Jeffrey was an investor in my company who turned into an invaluable advisor. I turned to him when we were in a challenging time and he used his experience and his trademark wisdom to advise me on how to right my ship. He was not only skilled in all the ways I needed, but he was incredibly supportive and motivating throughout a challenging time and a subsequent successful exit. He left an indelible mark on my company and on me as a leader.
