Lopaus Point

What Lopaus Point does

Lopaus Point, Inc. is a privately held U.S. consumer packaged goods company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company produces gluten-free waffles formulated with whole, organic fruit as the principal sweetener, positioning the product within the natural and better-for-you frozen or shelf-stable breakfast segment. Its founder and CEO is Stacie Murphy Skinner. The company is small, with a disclosed headcount of 1–10 employees, and its primary website (lopauspoint.com) currently redirects to superbbakehouse.com, suggesting an active brand consolidation or expansion into a broader bakery platform.

The company's capital structure reflects a small-scale, founder-led CPG business. It has raised approximately $3.2 million across three funding events recorded in the input — roughly $350,000 in February 2021, approximately $100,000 in August 2022, and a $3.5 million Regulation D exempt offering filed in May 2024, of which about $2.75 million had been sold at filing. No institutional investors, lead investors, pre- or post-money valuations, or use-of-funds detail beyond general corporate purposes are disclosed. There is no public revenue, ARR, or GMV figure, no disclosed pricing model, and no app, SDK, or technology platform associated with the company.

Commercial signals are thin. No distribution partnerships, retail relationships, named customers, marketing channels, certifications, patents, or product awards are documented. The product description indicates a single core SKU category (gluten-free waffles) with the website acting primarily as a redirect. As such, Lopaus Point's investment profile is best characterized as an early-stage, niche natural-foods brand in a transitional brand state, with the most recent capital raise indicating either operational scaling or a strategic pivot toward a multi-product bakery identity under the Superb Bakehouse umbrella.

Direct peers

• Van's Foods: Van's is one of the most established gluten-free frozen waffle brands in U.S. retail. It competes head-to-head with Lopaus Point in the gluten-free waffle category and is the most directly comparable peer for product, channel, and consumer.
• Nature's Path: Nature's Path produces organic and gluten-free waffles and breakfast products, directly overlapping with Lopaus Point's organic, gluten-free positioning. Comparable on ingredient philosophy (organic, non-GMO) and product category.
• Kodiak Cakes: Kodiak Cakes makes whole-grain pancake and waffle mixes, including gluten-free variants, and competes in the same breakfast-baking aisle. Comparable on product format (mix/batter-driven waffles) and health-forward positioning.
• Simple Mills: Simple Mills is a clean-label, gluten-free baking and cracker brand. It overlaps with Lopaus Point on gluten-free, whole-food ingredient philosophy and competes in adjacent baking categories that the Superb Bakehouse expansion could move into.
• Birch Benders: Birch Benders makes pancake and waffle mixes with a natural, better-for-you ingredient focus. It competes in the same breakfast-baking category and shares the small-batch, natural brand identity.
• Canyon Bakehouse: Canyon Bakehouse specializes in gluten-free breads and baked goods sold through retail and foodservice. It is a directly comparable specialty gluten-free bakery brand with similar product positioning and target retailers.

Broad incumbents

• Bob's Red Mill: Bob's Red Mill is a large, established gluten-free flour and baking mix brand with broad retail distribution. It is a broad incumbent in the gluten-free baking space and a likely competitive benchmark for distribution scale and shelf presence.
• King Arthur Baking Company: King Arthur is a major incumbent in baking mixes and flours, including a dedicated gluten-free line. Comparable as a broader-category bakery brand with established retail relationships that a smaller brand like Lopaus Point would need to compete against.
