Sunrise Strategic Partners, a Boulder, Colo.-based accelerator of emerging brands co-founded by Steve Hughes and Trilantic North America, announced a minority investment in Teton Waters Ranch, a company that produces sausages, frankfurters and chili from 100 percent grass-fed beef.
"Teton Waters Ranch has maintained high standards for raising cattle since day one - 100% grass-fed, no hormones, no antibiotics and no feedlots. We believe this is good for us, better for animals, and good for the land. Recently, we have seen a strong increase in consumer awareness and demand for meat products produced in this manner," said Jeff Russell, Teton Waters Ranch Founder and CEO. "The capital investment from Sunrise will allow us to invest in research to understand our consumers better, develop a strong innovation pipeline and help us tell our story. Beyond this, I am looking forward to leveraging Steve's strategic thinking to continue to develop the Teton Waters Ranch brand."
