888 Midas joins Fruitist’s roster of investors, further fueling the growth of the unicorn berry brand. Founded in 2024, 888 Midas focuses on early- to growth-stage companies positioned to lead in the consumer, health and wellness, sports, media, and entertainment sectors. The firm provides a unique platform for athlete- and advisor-led investing across private equity, venture capital, real estate, and real estate alternative assets.

At the heart of the collaboration is a shared belief: what you put in your body matters. Together, Fruitist, Williams and 888 Midas are partnering to elevate healthy snacking as a core pillar of everyday wellness. As a performance-driven athlete, Williams has long prioritized fueling with whole, functional foods to optimize his energy and longevity.

“From a young age, I’ve always believed that what you put in your body fuels how you show up, on and off the field,” said Caleb Williams, Star Quarterback and Entrepreneur. “Fruitist is a company with intention and a mission that I believe in, with the traction to back it up. With 888 Midas, we are proud to invest in better, smarter, and healthier options for the next generation and to help bring these berries to fans everywhere.”

This partnership builds on Fruitist’s recent momentum in the healthy snacking space: recognition on the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50 list, more than $1 billion in lifetime sales, and a valuation exceeding $1 billion. Fruitist is available in over 12,500 retail locations across North America – including Costco, Giant, Publix, ShopRite, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Wakefern, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. Fruitist has gained a devoted following for its flagship Jumbo Blueberries and growing portfolio of premium superfruits.

“Caleb brings a unique lens to Fruitist. He’s not only an athlete at the highest level, but someone thinking strategically about health, food, and long-term impact,” said Steve Magami, co-founder and CEO of Fruitist. “He sees what we see: a chance to make high-quality snacking easier to access, whether you’re training for game day or packing a lunchbox. His investment and partnership bring both perspective and purpose to the next chapter of Fruitist.”
