1. Cameron's Seafood ($3.6M/year)
Cameron's Seafood was born out of a family-owned Maryland seafood business, but it was a chance encounter with a crab-loving customer that sparked the idea. The customer, tired of paying high prices for subpar crabs, was willing to drive 6 hours to get authentic Maryland crabs. This inspired Cameron to bring these delicious crabs to people all over the country through a home delivery service, leveraging their existing infrastructure and competitive advantage.
How much money it makes: $3.6M/year
How many people on the team: 10
Cameron's Seafood, the largest Maryland seafood company in the world, has leveraged an existing family-owned seafood business to ship Maryland Crabs and crab cakes to customers in all 50 states, making over $200,000 in July 2018 with an expected $2.4 million in first-year revenue without venture capital.
