Texas Tri-Point Ventures LLC | Application Preview
Texas Tri-Point Ventures LLC is applying for a $50,000 government grant to launch a small-batch spice and pantry goods company in Temple, Texas. The funds will cover facility renovations, food production equipment, an initial inventory of locally sourced ingredients, sustainable packaging, branding, early operating costs, and community outreach programs. The project aims to create 3–5 local jobs and deliver culturally inspired, handcrafted food products rooted in a Japanese–Southwestern fusion.
Over five years, the company plans to evolve from a local startup into a regionally recognized brand. In the first two years, they will focus on setting up operations and building community presence. By years two and three, they aim to expand their product line, form wholesale partnerships, and scale production. Regional growth is the focus for years three to four, including the hiring of additional staff and expanded community programming.

Compared to major competitors, the company differentiates itself through its authentic fusion flavors, small-batch artisanal quality, community workshops, local sourcing, and sustainable practices.
The funding would accelerate their launch, stimulate Temple’s food economy, and offer long-term investor returns through a distinctive, socially conscious brand.
