LOS ANGELES, Calif.— Vegan Sunday Supper, maker of premium, ready-to-bake, plant-based Italian foods, announced the appointment of ethical entrepreneurs and Vegan Industry veterans, Daniella Monet and Ryan Bethencourt to their Advisory Board and Investor Group. Monet and Bethencourt took their place on the Advisory Board earlier this year, joining a robust group of seasoned industry advisors.

“I am delighted to announce the addition of Daniella and Ryan to the Vegan Sunday Supper Advisory Board,” said Richard Klein, Co-Founder and Head of Product at Vegan Sunday Supper, “Daniella has been a dedicated advocate for a plant-based lifestyle for years and Ryan is an accomplished financial executive with extremely strong ties to the Vegan Food Industry. Having admired both Daniella and Ryan for some time, I am confident they will be a great addition and key asset for Vegan Sunday Supper as we move forward on our journey.”

Daniella Monet, Los Angeles based actress and singer famous for her roles in Victorious and Nancy Drew, is an outspoken ethical entrepreneur and vegan advocate. She has built a loyal following of millions of fans based around her commitment to share accessible tips on plant-based living. In 2018, she co-founded Kinder Beauty, a vegan beauty subscription box, named Best Beauty Subscription Box by USA Today. Daniella brings with her a passion for quality vegan products and will tap into her dedicated social media followers to spread the word about Vegan Sunday Supper.

“I have made it my mission to make plant-based living more accessible, and Vegan Sunday Supper’s lasagna is so delicious, made with quality, organic ingredients that do not compromise on taste. These premium, authentic Italian dinners help bridge the gap for people who think that they can only enjoy animal-based comfort foods. As an Italian with a love for artisan lasagna and pasta dishes, this is especially close to my heart! I could not be more excited to help grow this brand to be the number one premium ready-to-bake Italian food brand in the United States!”

Ryan Bethencourt, CEO and Co-founder of leading D2C healthy pet food brand, Wild Earth and managing partner of Sustainable Food Ventures, a venture firm focused on early stage sustainable food companies, also joins Vegan Sunday Supper as an investor and advisor and brings with him deep industry knowledge

and extensive networks with institutional client relationships and long-standing high-level c-suite connections. At SFV, Ryan leads deal flow and investment decisions that has led him to oversee investment in over 120 early-stage food and biotech companies. Ryan co-founded Wild Earth in 2017, where he oversaw the raise of $20M and closed Mark Cuban on ABC’s Shark Tank. His addition to the Vegan Sunday Supper Advisory Board will help support the brand’s rapid expansion, including the launch of multiple new products and nation-wide distribution.

These additions to the Advisory Board come as Vegan Sunday Supper releases a new brand look and feel on its website and social media platforms alongside refreshed, retail-ready packaging which feature eye-catching graphics just in time for the brand’s launch at The Fresh Market nationwide. Over the summer, GTFO It’s Vegan!, known for launching the most exciting vegan innovations, will feature Vegan Sunday Supper across its homepage and give customers an additional place to purchase online. These exciting marketing campaigns and partnerships will go live just as Vegan Sunday Supper enters its seed fundraising round, seeking to expand its portfolio of healthy, organic, plant-based Italian offerings. The brand is forecasted to grow 150% by 2024 and expand into thousands of retail doors nationwide.
