Megan Militello and Lacey Ernandes first met during their military service in Iraq, forging a bond that would withstand the test of time.

Years later, when life dealt them unexpected challenges, Megan approached Lacey with a new business idea. What started as a simple request for a logo design quickly reignited their friendship and sparked the creation of Elevated Oats, a granola company with a mission that extends beyond the realm of breakfast.

Megan and Lacey share their journey of starting a consumer packaged goods (CPG) company and the invaluable insights they gained along the way. From navigating the intricacies of product development to building a brand with purpose, their shared military background instilled in them the resilience and tenacity needed to overcome obstacles. 

Their story serves as a testament to the power of friendship, determination, and unwavering belief in a vision.
