Case Study

Nutry Nuts: The Power of Angel Investment in Action

The Challenge

Founded in Liverpool in 2018 by brothers Mario and Tamas Niszler, Nutry Nuts created a healthier, high-protein peanut butter cup that was low in sugar, vegan, gluten-free, and palm-oil-free. While the brand successfully gained market traction online and through major retail partners like Amazon, rising consumer demand triggered a need for external funding and strategic support. To scale production, expand the product range, and achieve sustainable growth, the founders required a solution that would strengthen their commercial operations while allowing them to maintain control over long-term strategy.

Funding & Growth

Following investment support and mentorship from an Angel investor, Nutry Nuts significantly increased its manufacturing capacity, enabling the business to increase production runs from 8 pallets to 166 pallets — an increase of 158 pallets.

Strategic Guidance

Alongside critical financial investment, the founders received essential mentorship and commercial guidance from an experienced angel investor, strengthening their decision-making during a pivotal growth phase. ''Peter Bibby played a huge role in helping turn our product into a true business. While he wasn’t an equity investor, he supported us with loans that enabled our production runs and really accelerated our growth."— Mario Niszler, Nutry Nuts Co-Founder
