NEW YORK — Momofuku Goods, a brand of “restaurant-grade” pantry staples, raised $17.5 million in Series A funding led by Siddhi Capital to expand product offerings and support growing operations.
Founded by the team behind Momofuku restaurants, including chef David Chang and chief executive officer Marguerite Mariscal, Momofuku Goods offers a range of products, including chili crunch, air-dried noodles, soy sauce, rice vinegar and seasoned salts that are sold online and in more than 2,000 retail stores, including Target, Whole Foods Market, Wegmans and others.
“We are thrilled to have the support of Siddhi Capital as we continue to grow Momofuku Goods,” Ms. Mariscal said. “We’re grateful to have their expertise as we navigate the world of consumer packaged goods.”
