OVERVIEW
Fresh Ideas For A Classic Favorite
The Baconer was founded on the belief that, while American consumers passionately love bacon, the industry has failed to offer them anything new in generations and the market is hungry for innovative products that inspire and delight.
Founders Camilo Velasquez and Elisa Lewis first learned to craft fine cured meats while running an underground supper club in Brooklyn, NY. After moving their family to the San Francisco Bay Area, they spent years curing and smoking bacon at home, and quickly learned that while traditional bacon strips are delicious, bacon can be so much more. Enter the “Aha!” moment! None of the brands at their local markets had anything like the thick-cut bacon steaks, smoked lardons and ground bacon they were making, or the rich complex flavor profiles they created by their custom blended cures.
Founded in 2016, The Baconer established a local following at farmers’ markets throughout the Bay Area. Fast forward to 2018, we launched a wholesale business selling to restaurants and grocery stores, doubling the company’s annual sales. In 2020 we launched our e-commerce channel, shipping to all 50 states and once again doubled our annual sales. In 2021 we expanded our wholesale business into key markets across the US, entered the dry-goods category with a new line of bacon rubs, and launched a virtual team building program focused on corporate team building experiences. These additional lines of business offer tremendous opportunities for growth, leveraging the premium brand we have built to take high-margin product lines into mass nationwide distribution.
Join us as we break out beyond traditional bacon, introducing consumers to better ways to enjoy this timeless American food.
THE PROBLEM
There’s More to Bacon Than Bacon Strips
It’s no secret that bacon is one of America’s most beloved foods. However, while bacon is on the shelf in nearly every grocery store across the country, there is an overwhelming sense of sameness when perusing the bacon aisle. Shelf after shelf, package after package, they all look the same: bacon strips, bacon strips and more bacon strips.
The bacon market was lacking a standout brand that delivers genuinely inspiring products.
THE SOLUTION
Thinking Beyond the Strip
We’re going where no one has gone before with attention-grabbing products including XXL Bacon Steaks, Smoked Bacon Lardons and Ground Bacon. We created a line of bacon and related products to engage diverse groups of consumers: shoppers, chefs, grocery buyers, restaurateurs, corporates, gift givers and food lovers alike.
With our newly launched education program, we’ve created a pipeline to connect with corporate audiences, put our product in their hands and teach them how to elevate their dishes from ordinary to extraordinary.
The Baconer's approach is working: our revenue has increased 300% over the past 24 months. We have built a trusted brand; aligned with strategic food industry pioneers; and grown our retail, wholesale, product line and social media presence. We have two trademarks, ownership of thebaconer.com domain, and trade-secrets to all of our flavorings and rubs. And, we're getting national recognition for it!
Our Products
Crafting the most innovative products available today, The Baconer is committed to sourcing 100% USA made heritage breed Duroc pork, sustainably raised without hormones, antibiotics or growth promotants in a crate-free environment. Hand-crafted from heritage breed pork belly, richly flavored with herbs and spices and smoked low and slow over Sonoma wine country hardwoods, our bacon offers a perfect balance of sweet, umami and smoke, with a buttery texture for a deeply satisfying experience.
The addition of our uncured & sugar-free collection also allows us to offer a premium-quality and all-natural bacon line that expands our reach to the Paleo, Keto, Whole30 categories of consumers as well as appealing to anyone needing or wanting to reduce sugar intake.
Beyond Bacon
In 2021, we began to further diversify our portfolio with a line of all-purpose rubs—specially crafted for bacon—but with limitless applications. With a nationwide launch of our rub line on ABC’S “Good Morning America,” we’re filling a void in the spice category where we see tremendous growth opportunities with a unique offering boasting high margins, accessible price points and easy fulfillment. We see further expansion potential with additional rub flavors, sauces, bacon-bits and seasonings.
Virtual Team Building Program

*The testimonials shown above may not be representative of the experience of other customers and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.
As corporate teams become increasingly more dispersed, we entered the team-building experience market in 2021. Our program is unique in that we develop menus built around our proprietary products, ship participants every ingredient they need direct to their doorstep, and lead large private groups in live virtual class experiences with personal instruction from our founder and leading bacon expert, Camilo Velasquez. We have seen enthusiastic early adoption with teams from Salesforce, Google, and other industry leaders. This model has proven highly profitable, scalable, and puts our product in the hands of a high-value, cross-industry customer segment.
THE MARKET
Bacon is One of America’s Most Beloved Foods—and is More Popular Than Ever!
Everything's better with bacon, right?! With bacon’s growing appeal and diverse culinary applications, consumers are looking for inspiration with the most authentic, high-quality and hand-crafted products available. Bacon remains one of the most versatile ingredients in dishes—bringing serious flavor to burgers, cozied up with eggs, headlining a charcuterie board, paired with pasta, or even topping ice cream! During the 2020 covid shelter in place, bacon continued to capture the attention of consumers as a pandemic powerhouse and pantry staple, and its popularity continues to grow. (In 2021, Twisted Bacon was a top Food Trend onTikTok; and Bacon Jam Recipe was a Top 10 Trending Recipe Search on Google, Year in Search, 2021.)
The global bacon market is projected to reach $66.2 billion by 2026. (Source) In the U.S. alone, bacon sales accounted for the biggest growth in the meat category—with the bacon market growing nearly 23% from 2019-2020.(Source)

With revenue growth doubling each year from 2018-2020 and increasing 63% in 2021, The Baconer is capitalizing on evolving consumer tastes, increased desire for responsible sourcing, a growing specialty food industry, booming interest in versatility, our authentic brand, and our best-in-class products to build on our success and lead innovation beyond the bacon aisle.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
A Multi-Channel Business Model
The Baconer is growing our customer base with a multi-channel business strategy. In our first three years of business, we established a local retail and wholesale customer base, and in December 2019, we launched our ecommerce platform in tandem with a feature on The Today Show. Moving into 2020, the company was well positioned to scale our DTC and began shipping to all 50 states as well as establishing strategic partnerships with 3rd party retailers. Starting in 2021, we focused on channel expansion with an emphasis on corporate gifting, virtual team building experiences, and brick & mortar wholesalers nationwide. In early 2022, we partnered with Goldbelly, named by Fast Company as one of 2021's 10 Most Innovative Companies, to expand our e-commerce capabilities and reach an audience of more than a million well-qualified consumers.
- DTC represents 75% of our sales and is our highest growth channel. It includes Ecommerce, Affiliate Channels, Social Shopping Channels and Corporate Gifting. The Baconer has also secured key partnerships with leading nationwide brands such as Food52.com, Goldbelly and Touch of Modern.
- Wholesale is 25% of the business and includes Grocery, Food Service & Hospitality, and is rapidly growing which has helped fuel our expansion into 12 additional states in the last six months.
- Virtual Team Building is our newest business channel and we see tremendous growth potential. (Worldwide, 2500% more organizations are investing in virtual team building in response to COVID-19. The United States is the number 2 country investing in virtual team building. (Source)

Update from The Baconer
Dear Investors and Bacon Lovers,
As you know, we recently offered family, friends, bacon lovers and investors the opportunity to invest in The Baconer and support our plans for future growth through a Crowdfunding campaign.
Recently, we were presented with an alternative which we believe is a better path for The Baconer, so we have closed the campaign and will not be taking any funds raised through StartEngine. Please note that your investment will be reimbursed in full within the next few weeks. There is no action needed on your part.
For each and every one of you who have made an investment in The Baconer campaign via StartEngine, we are so grateful. Your support means the world to us. We put a great deal of thought into making this decision, and we believe taking an alternate route will put The Baconer in the best position for growth.
Should you have any other questions about this update, please feel free to contact us at gimmebacon@thebaconer.com
Thank you for your continued support of The Baconer!
Warm regards,
Elisa Lewis Camilo Velasquez Dana Young

The Baconer Featured in Business Insider
Sizzling Potential: How Two Foodies Turned a Passion for Bacon into A Business Empire
Read about: How these two California foodies expanded their gourmet bacon business beyond the farmer's market to wholesale, e-commerce, and third party retailer" in Business Insider's latest piece. #BecomeABaconer #Invest
Except: While the couple prides themselves on carefully sourcing their pork to obtain the ideal flavors and textures, Lewis said what made them stand out was when they found untapped potential: A new way to offer the product to the marketplace. In the bacon universe, "all you see are strips," Lewis said. "Camilo realized there were a lot of different ways to cut bacon — into lardons, really thick-cut bacon steaks, or ground bacon." That caught the attention of meat buyers, Velasquez said, "They were saying, 'I've never seen this before."

Award-Winning, Specialty Food Brand Invites Investors To Become A Baconer
Makes Debut as First Bacon Innovator on Start Engine
EMERYVILLE, CA—Tuesday, May 10, 2022 — Today, The Baconer—the award-winning specialty food brand—announced the launch of their equity crowdfunding campaign, Become A Baconer—to invite people to invest in fueling the brand’s mission, expansion and continued success. When you own a piece of The Baconer, you’re investing in a best-of-class brand, experienced and passionate founders with an unwavering drive to succeed, and a proven track record. Leveraging their momentum, the team will use the capital raised to directly fuel expansion into national grocery, hospitality and food service distribution; broaden a growing direct-to-consumer (DTC) business; further innovate products; and expand the virtual team building platform.
“We saw that what mainstream bacon products lacked was true innovation,” said Camilo Velasquez, co-founder and The Baconer. “We started with something that is beloved and familiar, and created products that spark imagination. We took the opportunity to come to market with a product line that just stops you in your tracks. Today, we invite our community and those who share our vision to become a part of our growing community and invest in our continued success.”
Leading the Way for Food Startups in The Equity Crowdfunding Space
The campaign is hosted on Start Engine, a leading equity crowdfunding platform, where people can find and invest in early-growth companies and startups. StartEngine has helped more than 500 companies raise $500M+ from a community of over 750K prospective investors. The Baconer is the first bacon company to launch an equity raise on the platform.
"In identifying a funding path for The Baconer’s next phase of growth, it was important to find a platform where we could connect directly with our large community of investors who have a shared passion for head-turning, deeply-satisfying, premium, hand-crafted products from a specialty producer in the US," added Elisa Lewis, CEO and co-founder, The Baconer. “Start Engine is 100 percent in line with our vision and their success in identifying brands and connecting them to investors makes them an ideal partner for The Baconer as we continue to disrupt the bacon category.”
Going Beyond the Strip
The Original Bacon Slingers, Camilo Velasquez and Elisa Lewis, were a part of an underground supper Club, feeding neighborhood folks five- to seven-course meals, complete with a wine pairing in their shared industrial loft apartment. It was here that this dynamic duo found the process of creating innovative dishes as a source of connecting with people, creating unforgettable food experiences, and where they began learning to cure their own meats. The husband-and-wife team moved to California and The Baconer got its start producing in a local commissary in Oakland, CA, selling on weekends at Bay Area farmers markets. Fast forward a few years and today The Baconer's indulgently thick cut bacon offerings are expertly smoked and cut in Cloverdale, CA with the same attention to detail and quality that set them apart from the start. Now headquartered in Emeryville, CA, The Baconer is a leading craft producer focused on redefining how Americans think about, prepare, cook with and enjoy responsibly-sourced, premium quality bacon and bacon-inspired products.

FAQS
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
