WHO WE ARE

Partake was founded by Denise Woodard, a mom with a decade of CPG experience who saw a need for safe, healthy snacks that taste good. Partake has earned recognition from both a business perspective (Fall 2018 Chobani Incubator, Google’s “Black Founders” 2017 winner) and product perspective (MindBodyGreen’s “Healthiest Cookies You Can Buy”, People’s “Editor’s Picks”, and Preventions “Cleanest Packaged Foods” list).
