LesserEvil: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

LesserEvil is dedicated to improving popular American snack foods by offering healthier alternatives, such as potato-based puffs and a variety of low-carb popcorns with adventurous flavors. When Charles Coristine acquired LesserEvil in 2011, he realized that their initial products were not genuinely beneficial for customers and understood that what is not good for consumers is also detrimental to the company. As a result, they adopted a more comprehensive mission to provide authentic choices to consumers, aiming to positively impact their lives and make the world a slightly better place.

About FundedIQ's LesserEvil Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for LesserEvil is left off this page rather than filled in.
