A Strip District startup that sells its organic Greek yogurt in restaurants and supermarkets in 12 states less than a year after its debut, has raised $751,090 from investors, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Naturi Inc. will use the money for further expansion, confirmed Ned Renzi, who is a director of and an investor in the young company. Naturi is in discussions with national supermarket chains to carry its yogurt, Renzi added, but could not disclose further details.
Naturi, which incorporated in February 2015, was co-founded by Aditya Dhere and Anes Dracic, recent graduates of Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business. The yogurt is made on a farm in upstate New York. Renzi described it as "something of a virtual company." Dhere, who is president and CEO, did not return calls.
