Four
deliverables.
One chicken chip.
CHICKS is the high-protein chicken-chip brand — 100 cal, 24g protein, 0g fat per bag, made in the USA with our co-manufacturing partner Chicky Shake. Each deck is tuned to what its audience evaluates: growth for VCs, returns for PE, synergy for F&B. The one-pager works as a universal leave-behind.

Product spec, flavors, logo, bag art, the competitive matrix, market sizing and the $2.5M Year-3 target are now baked in from the source deck. Everything still orange-highlighted in the decks is a figure to confirm before sending. Grouped below.
