Actual Veggies: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Delicious chef crafted fresh & refrigerated burgers that celebrate vegetables instead of trying to mask them! Actual Veggies' mission is to provide vegans, flexitarians, and carnivores alike, healthy, satisfying, environmentally friendly and delicious meal options. We do not use unnatural scientific methods to taste like substitute meat. Instead, we offer consumers a unique option to skip the frozen section of thin, mostly unappetizing veggie burgers, and processed plant-based offerings. Actual Veggies first product line is an always fresh, large 5oz vegetarian burger made with only real vegetables, natural binding units, no preservatives, and no additives. Our first four burgers are vibrantly color based and showcase their farm fresh veggies by looking and tasting like works of art. Actual Veggies Burgers are made in the kitchen, not in the lab. Our ingredients are not reengineered with chemicals to look, taste, and bleed like real meat. We are not plant-based, we are plant-only and our burgers look, taste, and smell like veggies!

About FundedIQ's Actual Veggies Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Actual Veggies is left off this page rather than filled in.
