SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rabobank, the world's premier bank to the food, beverage and agribusiness industry, and SF New Tech, San Francisco's largest and longest-running tech showcase event, today announced that Patrick's Fine Sodas, a beverage startup specializing in healthy, probiotic sodas, as the winner of the People's Choice Award at the inaugural FoodBytes! Summit. 

FoodBytes! took place on February 25, 2015 at the Bluxome Street Winery in San Francisco. The half-day event was dedicated to helping investors in the food industry meet new companies that are disrupting and/or innovating in food-related software and applications, distribution, manufacturing, production and more.

The People's Choice Award was decided by the more than 250 FoodBytes! attendees, who were each given a virtual budget of $5 million to invest in each of the 12 presenting demo companies.  At the end of the evening, Patrick's Fine Sodas was the top winner, accumulating the highest virtual investment of  $27,350,000.  Following Patrick's Fine Sodas in 2nd place was Pantry, a solution for food producers to sell their food anytime, with $13,700,000, and in 3rd place was Bitty Foods, a company that makes delicious baked goods powered by cricket flour, with $10,420,000. 

By winning the FoodBytes! People's Choice Award, Patrick's Fine Sodas receives the right to use the People's Choice Award logo in its marketing material, and is invited to attend Rabobank's premier client event in December, which attracts c-suite representation from 300 of the leading food, beverage and agribusiness companies in North America.

"It was an honor to be selected by the audience as the winner, and a terrific validation of our hard work at Patrick's Fine Sodas," said Shawn Patrick, CEO and Founder of Patrick's Fine Sodas. "The award was especially meaningful as FoodBytes did such a great job bringing food startups and the industry together to explore the future of food."

Manuel Gonzalez, Rabobank's west coast head of corporate banking, said, ""Congratulations to Patrick's Fine Soda on winning the FoodBytes! People Choice Award, and to all of our participating demo companies.  The idea behind FoodBytes! is an event where food is the only focus - an event for people working in food, developing ideas around food, and taking progressive risks in food technology.  We wanted an event that was nimble, dynamic and focused on the people who are taking action. We are very pleased with the outcome of the first FoodBytes! and intend to continue improving and growing the event."

Myles Weissleder, Founder of SF New Tech, said, "The FoodBytes! summit brought together an amazing array of disrupters and forward-thinkers in the food and agriculture industry with investors and corporate innovations officers who attended in search of the next big thing. The 12 companies that we selected to showcase their innovations exemplified innovation in new foods and ways to more efficiently bring food to market.  We are really thrilled with the turnout and excitement surrounding the inaugural FoodBytes! Summit and are already working on scheduling the next one."

In addition to Patrick's Fine Sodas, Pantry, and Bitty Foods, nine other companies pitched their business ideas at the inaugural FoodBytes! summit:
