At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you. Like you, we were disappointed. There’s an infinite number of “nutrition” companies, all focused on what’s best for them — not what’s best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We’ve seen it all. So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious. What we care about... Be the Best: We hold ourselves, our teams, and our partners to an incredibly high standard - and we raise the bar constantly. "We've never done this before" isn't an excuse here. It's an invitation. Own It: We act like our name is on the door. That means taking complete ownership of outcomes, collaborating deeply, working through roadblocks - not around them - and never waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Great owners are great partners. Drive Impact, Urgently: We measure impact, not effort. We work smart and hard, move fast, and use every tool at our disposal - including AI - to focus our energy where it matters most. Compensation & Perks: For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth. Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about! ## About Grüns ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Grüns makes daily nutrition simple and enjoyable by offering comprehensive, whole-food ingredient gummies designed to replace multiple supplements. - **Entity Type**: Private (Debt Financing) - **Headquarters**: Beaverton, Oregon, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Chad Janis (Founder & CEO) ## Core Business - Primary industry: Wellness and Fitness Services / Nutritional Supplements - Target customers: B2C (direct-to-consumer and retail), with a focus on health-conscious individuals seeking a convenient alternative to pills and powders - Mission or purpose statement: "To make daily nutrition simple and enjoyable" by providing foundational nutrition that is convenient and delicious. ## Products & Services - **Grüns Daily Nutrition Gummies**: A comprehensive nutrition gummy formulated with 60 nutrient-dense, whole-food ingredients across 8 core nutrient categories.
