After Jordan Weitz got diagnosed with celiac disease at age 18, around the time he was graduating from Wootton High School in Rockville, checking ingredient lists in packaged goods became the norm. “Throughout his career he kept coming back to one question: Why was the process of finding manufacturers so outdated? He sent a cold message to Keychain cofounder and then-CEO of Angie’s List and Keychain was started.” Now, Weitz has made the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 List in the ‘Food & Drink’ section.
“Thrilled (and honored) to share that I’ve been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Food & Drink list for 2025! Huge thanks to Chloe, Simone, Maria, and the incredible team for this recognition. And a massive thank you to my many mentors who have helped me along the way – this is a milestone that wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing people who’ve been part of the journey.” Weitz wrote on LinkedIn.
According to Forbes, The Yale University graduate did stints in investment banking and venture capital firms before delving into the food world, becoming one of the youngest hires at CPG-focused growth equity firm Monogram Capital Partners. His company, Keychain, is an online supplier marketplace that counts General Mills and Schreiber Foods as users. It raised $15 million in its Series A round in November, valuing the company at $250 million.
