What Happened To Uprising Food After Shark Tank?

The Uprising Food is a keto, paleo, gluten-free parabiotic/probiotic bread for all healthy people. No preservatives have been used to make this bread, as well as 2 net carbs and 160 calories, are found in every slice.

It would not be wrong to call it a good Keto-friendly bread. This Uprising Bread does not use gluten, the same gluten is used in most bread. This bread is made keeping in mind the people having a healthy diet.

This bread was made by two couples William Schumacher and Kristen Schumacher and this bread was also sold in the farmer’s market. There was a very good response from the people about this bread and all their bread got sold out.

They spent about 8 months trying to get a good combination of ingredients, temperature, and bread pan shape. During this period, They became involved in making their first gluten-free and low-carbohydrate bread.

The founder appeared in Shark Tank Season 13 Episode 1 about their business Uprising food and asked Shark for $500k for a 3% equity at a $16.6 Million Valuation. This is a huge valuation for this company. Due to this, this company did not get funding for Shark Tank.
