Founded by Nick Hamburger and Zack Shreier, two Chicago-area childhood friends, the idea for Quevos stemmed from Shreier, who as a Type 1 diabetic, must diligently monitor what goes into his body.
Eggs had always been a safe bet for Schreier's diet (because of their low carbohydrate count), but the problem was they weren't very snackable. However, Schreier noticed how much he enjoyed the crispy remnants of eggs left over in the pan after cooking, and with the help of Hamburger, turned their discovery into a brand of egg white-based chips known as Quevos.
Hamburger and Shreier went about growing the brand in typical startup fashion – dropping out of college, seeking funds from friends and family, and raising over $70,000 through crowdsourcing platform Kickstarter – to take their concept of egg white chips to shelf.
Quevos chips come in two varieties: Classic flavors which provide 5g of protein and 5g of fiber per bag and a keto-friendly version which delivers 8g of protein, 4g of fiber, and 4g of net carbs.
Vote of confidence from KIND Snacks founder
Chosen as one of the many startups to pitch their business on ABC's Shark Tank, Hamburger and Schreier ended up striking a deal with snacking industry veteran and business leader, Daniel Lubetzky (terms of the deal were a $200,000 investment in exchange for 10% equity in the company, plus a $200,000 line of credit).
Lubetzky, who founded KIND fruit and nut bars in 2004 and grew the business into a multi-billion-dollar global wellness company (before selling KIND North America to Mars in November 2020 in a reported $5bn deal), was the jolt the brand needed to propel its next chapter of retail growth, said Hamburger.
