Kutoa is a brand of nutrition bars founded in 2011 by Joey Grassia and is based in Austin, Texas. The company's creation was inspired by the founder's travels in Southeast Asia and his personal pursuit of a healthy diet, as well as in honor of his late mother, Alice.
The company produces a variety of health bars with flavors such as Chocolate Banana, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Blueberry Almond, and Cherry Cashew. Kutoa operates with a social cause at its core, aiming to help feed children in need. The name "Kutoa" is a Swahili word that means "to give".
In April 2015, the company secured $331,000 in a seed funding round from one institutional investor, Steelhead Capital Management. On July 6, 2017, Kutoa was acquired by Toosum.
