Description

A Little About Us

Oats Overnight is changing the way people eat breakfast, and since launching in 2016, our high protein spoon-free oatmeal has been enjoyed by over 1,000,000 customers.

We are scaling quickly in both direct-to-consumer and retail with the goal of becoming a household brand.

We have end-to-end control of all phases of the business, producing and fulfilling the product in-house, which is extremely rare for companies our size.

This allows us to create new flavors and products quickly and is a tremendous advantage for our brand - we're able to give customers a behind-the-scenes look at what we do, highlighting our people and process in content.

Being vertically integrated also enables us to incorporate customers directly in the development process.
