During the pandemic, Paul brought Dan a snack from a startup he'd helped launch. Dan, a trained chef, wasn't impressed but an idea was born. They saw an opportunity: snacks had gone flavorless, and popcorn was the perfect platform — light, versatile, and able to carry salty and sweet flavors. Over 18 months, they refined recipes and branding before launching Nomad in 2024. Soon after, Ramen popcorn won Most Innovative New Product and Pad Thai popcorn earned Small Business Innovator of the Year. Today, Nomad leads a flavor revolution, turning popcorn into a platform for global taste discovery.
