About
Rip Van is the fast-growing better-for-you sweet snacks brand that is redefining the category. The company spent seven years developing a proprietary platform that starts with prebiotic fiber — not sugar — to create familiar sweet snacks with less sugar. What began with its signature stroopwafel has become a platform for continued innovation across formats, with a growing portfolio spanning Wafels, Wafers, Crispy Dunes, Crispy Choco and Nutty Crunch.
Fundz sees it the moment Rip Van changes its leadership, hires an exec or expands, usually minutes after it happens, and tells you who to reach.
