New York-based food startup BRAMI has secured $33 million in Series B funding to accelerate manufacturing expansion, strengthen its Italian supply chain, and scale national retail growth for its rapidly growing protein pasta brand. The round was led by VMG Partners, with participation from existing investors La Molisana, Pentland Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, and Gather Ventures. Founded by Aaron Gatti, BRAMI produces high-protein Italian pasta made from just two ingredients - durum wheat semolina and lupini bean flour. The company positions itself as a healthier, minimally processed alternative to conventional protein pasta products while maintaining authentic Italian taste and texture. The startup stated that the fresh capital will be used to expand production capabilities, strengthen sourcing partnerships in Italy, and accelerate retail expansion across the United States. BRAMI products are now available in more than 4,000 stores including Walmart, Target, Costco, Whole Foods, Safeway/Albertsons, and Sam’s Club. According to the company, BRAMI has become one of the fastest-growing pasta brands in America as consumers increasingly shift toward high-protein, clean-label, and Mediterranean-inspired food products. Investors are betting on rising demand for functional foods that combine nutritional value with familiar everyday meal formats. VMG Partners’ Wayne Wu said the company has the potential to become a “transformational brand” in the pasta category due to its focus on authentic ingredients, artisan manufacturing, and scalable consumer demand.
