Sanzo Sparkling Water
Founder Sandro Roco, a Queens-born Filipino American, was walking through a popular Asian supermarket in Manhattan’s Koreatown. There, he noticed a huge gap between the modern, clean labels of the new-age “American” brands and the preservative- and sugar-laden labels of the legacy Asian brands. His goal was simple: celebrate high quality Asian flavors that for decades have been masked by added sugars.

Rip Van
Rip Van was created out of a dorm room in 2012.

They set out to do one thing and one thing only: to improve people’s lives by inventing better, healthier, and more convenient snacks that are delicious and low in sugar. Rip Van is a Hispanic & Asian owned business, certified by the NMSDC, New York chapter and by the CAMSC in Canada.

YES Bar
Founder Abigail’s son was born with so many food sensitivities, she was always having to say “no” to the foods he wanted to try. In frustration and out of love, she went to her kitchen and took out all the ingredients that she could say “yes” to, and made a snack that he could eat. He loved them because they looked and tasted like a cookie. Abigail loved them because of their nutritious, premium quality organic ingredients. From that day on the YES Bar was born.
