Our Story

Riverside began in 2013 when Nima Fotovat, one of the founders, couldn't find a tasty, healthy, snack that was also safe for school for his son. So he teamed up with his siblings, Salma and Sahba Fotovat, to launch Riverside's first brand, MADEGOOD. The commitment to sell products that everyone could trust and enjoy came from the family’s lifelong relationship with healthy foods - to create products that provide exceptional nutrition and great taste to customers and their families, but in a way that respects the environment and the people in the community. As a result, Riverside became a certified B Corp Corporation, reflecting the commitment to consider people, the planet and as well as performance in every decision. Everything we do works to fulfill our purpose: To inspire a healthier and more compassionate world, where access to good food becomes a reality for all.

People:

At Riverside, People are our foundation. Without the care and passion from each member of our Riverside family, we would not be what or where it is today. It’s the people at Riverside who make our products the best it can be. We live our Values of Teamwork, Ownership, Respect, Humility, Adaptability, Grit, and, of course, having a little Fun. Riverside is growing fast and we’re always looking for great talent. 

Our culture is the driving force for possibilities. Riverside created a culture deck to provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into what its like to work at Riverside. It encapsulates what Riverside is about, our Values, and how we operate. Take a moment to read through Riverside's Culture Deck.
