Happy New Year and Happy Monday! Welcome back to Early Access by Coeus Collective: the newsletter where we do the sourcing and you get the deal.
Our last Early Access issue of 2025 was about Ulama, an AI-powered software that uses three-dimensional building modeling to address the permitting crisis of our national housing shortage. In between, we recapped our 2025 and described the thesis behind our vision in our Media Unlocks Capital essay.
Today, for first Early Access newsletter of the year, we’re starting with a thesis of deliciousness. And one that is a bit further along than our usual Early Access companies: their product has already been trusted by 40,000 customers and generated millions of dollars in revenue.
Welcome to The Cumin Club. Alright, let’s take a bite!
The Cumin Club is a Chicago-based CPG startup bringing authentic Indian flavors to the world, in a 5-minute, pantry-friendly format. The Cumin Club utilizes proprietary freeze-drying technology that preserves 99% of the nutrition, taste, and texture of fresh ingredients without the need for preservatives.
Their products are prepared with fresh ingredients and cooked by authentic chefs in their dedicated facility in India, then freeze dried to lock in flavor. The company’s product line includes curries, lentils, simmer sauces, and beverages, all representing diverse regional cuisines of India.
