Chomps – Diverse Owned Business

Chomps was started in 2012 by co-founders and co-CEOs Pete Maldonado and Rashid Ali. With a dream to make the healthiest, on-the-go protein snacks that don’t compromise on taste, personal trainer Pete pitched the idea to operations consultant Rashid after they met at a poker game in Chicago. A minority- and family-owned and -operated healthy meat snack brand, Chomps’ offerings are made from the highest-quality, sustainably sourced proteins with no hidden, harmful ingredients.
