Victory Hemp Foods

What Victory Hemp Foods does

Victory Hemp Foods, PBC is a Kentucky-based ingredient manufacturer founded in 2014 that produces hemp heart protein and hemp heart oil from a single raw material — shelled hemp seeds grown on North American farms. The company operates an SQF-certified processing facility at 252 Jay Louden Rd, Carrollton, KY, and self-describes as North America's largest producer of hemp heart protein and hemp heart oil. Its underlying technology is a patented continuous manufacturing process that supports bulk B2B packaging (40-lb bags, 2,000-lb totes, 5-gal pails, 55-gal drums, 264-gal totes) and produces SKU variants including V-70® Hemp Heart Protein, V-60™ Hemp Heart Protein, V-ONE® Hemp Heart Oil, and bulk shelled hemp seeds. Process outcomes include a highly dispersible protein (>95% passing 100 US Mesh) and a neutral flavor profile engineered for clean-label formulations in beverages, snacks, cereals, bakery, and sports nutrition.

The company operates a dual-channel revenue model. The primary channel is B2B wholesale ingredients sold to food, beverage, snack, bakery, and industrial manufacturers, supported by direct sales, documentation (nutritional statements, specification sheets), and trade show presence at Supply Side Global and AFOA. A secondary direct-to-consumer channel runs through a Shopify storefront selling retail-packaged protein, seeds, and oil with UPS ground fulfillment. Pricing for wholesale is quote-based and requires contact-form submission for tote pricing and freight. The company holds Kosher, Non-GMO, Ecovadis, and SQF certifications and has disclosed pursuit of Regenerative Organic certification.

Victory Hemp Foods is organized as a Public Benefit Corporation in Kentucky, with stated benefit intent tied to sustainable agriculture. To date, it has raised approximately $7.59M across five funding rounds from 2018 through 2024, including a $4.28M round in 2021 and a $2.08M round in 2024, with co-investment from Keyhorse Capital and retail capital sourced through a Wefunder equity crowdfunding campaign. The company is founder-led (Chad Rosen, Founder & CEO) with an 11-50 employee base and has set a public roadmap to support 20,000 acres of sustainable hemp cultivation and $18M in annual farmer payments by 2030.
