1 articles · Updated · Entrepreneur · May 22
  • TofuGo, launched in March 2026, is on track to generate $1 million in first-year revenue after quickly reaching $5,000 in weekly sales and $20,000 in one month.
  • A social-media post went viral two weeks after launch, driving website traffic and helping validate demand for a savory, high-protein, shelf-stable tofu snack in the U.S. and Canada.
  • Founder Caroline Dai built the brand around Sichuan-style dougan, aiming to fill a North American protein-snack aisle dominated by sweet bars and jerky.
  • Early growth came despite manufacturing rejections and consumer confusion over packaging, pushing the company to sharpen branding and invest more heavily in social-media education.
  • The startup is now expanding through direct-to-consumer channels, online marketplaces and retail talks, with repeat purchases and word-of-mouth supporting its early momentum.
