About
Airgoods is a New York-based B2B wholesale marketplace for specialty food and beverage — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with $7 million raised from YC, Initialized Capital, and Great Wave Ventures with an 8-person team — connecting specialty food and beverage brands (1,000+ non-alcoholic functional beverage, snack, and specialty food products) with independent specialty retailers (natural food stores, specialty grocers, health food shops) through a centralized wholesale purchasing platform that replaces the fragmented distributor relationships, broker negotiations, and direct brand outreach that currently fragment specialty food retail procurement. Founded in 2023 by Aaron Farr, Elian Haddock, and Paolo Carroll, Airgoods targets the $250+ billion US specialty food market where 45,000+ independent specialty retailers struggle to discover and purchase from the 30,000+ emerging CPG brands launching annually.
