Cofounders Jake Kalick and Chip Malt, who launched the company in 2017, hoped to reduce the price of professional-grade cookware with products that were accessible to both restaurant chefs and home cooks. According to a company statement, Made In’s product portfolio experienced over 1050% growth last year, while growing a waitlist of over 10,000 customers for new product launches like for the Carbon Steel Skillet and Universal Lid.
Made In products have already made their way into some very high-profile restaurants, including Alinea, Next, Roister, Birdie G's, Craft, Konbi, and Bouillion, and Kokanas says he uses them at home, as well. "Over the last ten years, we've had every cookware company in the country, including most of the new direct-to-consumer ones, come to us with various forms of partnership or sponsorship requests, but we didn't feel like anyone in cookware was doing anything unique or different," Kokonas tells. Just a couple weeks after an initial phone call with Made In, the Alinea Group decided to invest.
The announcement follows Made In’s Seed-1 Funding in August, which brings the company's total funding to $8.33 million, according to a company statement.
