A loan of $15,000 helps a lil gourmet pot pie company (and repeat Kiva borrower!) get on grocery store shelves.
Sasha's story
I started this company four years ago after having a conversation with my aunt about her most popular dish from her catering company, The Catered Word. She was very well known for her chicken pot pies, but only the rich and famous that she catered to could afford to order them. So, after taking a trip to the grocery store and seeing if there was anything comparable, I realized the rest of the country deserved to eat her pot pies in the comfort of their home, no matter where they lived! So, I decided to create the first and only 2-pot pie that you can reheat in 5 minutes. Our gourmet pot pies are a perfect lunch to take to work or a quick and convenient dinner to make at home after a long day. Kids love to reheat one of these pot pies all by themselves after school so they can feel like real chefs! Don't settle for those mushy soggy crusts or those frozen chunks of chicken. Join Aunt Ethel's Pot Pie Posse and treat yourself to a gourmet pot pie full of juicy chunks of hand pulled chicken, garden fresh veggies, and an unbelievably rich and creamy sauce made with real ingredients.
And the cherry on top is the puff pastry crust that's a flaky buttery croissant that crunches every time you take a bite. Four years later, we are super excited to be on the shelves of some larger retailers, selling on Amazon and just sold out on QVC. We are looking for a loan in order to place a large order for an upcoming airline and launch into cafes starting her in NYC! Join us on our mission to make gourmet pot pies a snack that everybody can enjoy on the go or in the comfort of their homes!
