🛠️ Turning Waste into Value in Commercial Frying

At Bluegrass Angels, we believe in supporting innovations that deliver environmental impact and operational savings, so we’re proud backers of FreshFry, the Louisville-based company transforming fryer oil management in restaurants.

What FreshFry offers:

✔️ A plant-based “Pod” that absorbs water, acids and metals from frying oil overnight, extending oil life and improving food quality.
✔️ Sustainable manufacturing anchored in Kentucky and designed for large-scale foodservice environments.
✔️ Proven cost savings: trials show reduced oil usage, fewer oil changes and lower labor burden.

Recent milestone: FreshFry announced a partnership with Dave’s Hot Chicken, enabling franchisees to simplify oil management, reduce labor time by up to 2 hours per location daily and achieve material cost savings up to 30%.

As restaurant operators face rising costs and growing sustainability pressures, FreshFry is providing a smart, scalable solution.

Under regulations like Rule 506 of Regulation D, companies can raise capital from accredited investors without registering with the SEC—making angel investing possible for early-stage startups.

An accredited investor is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and includes individuals or entities that meet certain income, net worth, or professional criteria.
