Funded Food and Beverage Startups in Austin

Via 313 Pizzeria’s $33M (2025-02-04) is the only disclosed round above $20M, while the next-largest disclosed amounts sit well below it (Ranch Hand $11M on 2023-01-11 and Nine Banded Whiskey $10M on 2023-12-14). Several other disclosed rounds cluster between $2M and $7M (e.g., La Caza Spirits $2M on 2023-02-17; Spiritless $4M on 2023-08-22; Season Health $7M on 2023-12-13).

Yes. Two disclosed rounds fall within February 2025 (Via 313 Pizzeria $33M on 2025-02-04 and Serenity Kids on 2025-02-26 as undisclosed). A second concentration appears in late 2023, where multiple rounds are recorded between 2023-08 and 2023-12 (Spiritless $4M on 2023-08-22; Applied Food Sciences undisclosed on 2023-08-08; Season Health $7M on 2023-12-13; Nine Banded Whiskey $10M on 2023-12-14).

The clearest size outlier is Via 313 Pizzeria at $33M (2025-02-04), dwarfing most other disclosed rounds. The smallest disclosed amount is Mayawell’s $20K (2024-07-09), which sits far below the rest of the disclosed range (e.g., Texas Restaurant Foundation $400K on 2021-12-17; Common Threads $400K on 2024-12-20; Future/Proof $800K on 2021-02-09).

Out of 19 rows, 11 entries are labeled “Series Unknown” (including Via 313 Pizzeria on 2025-02-04 and Common Threads on 2024-12-20), and 2 entries list the amount as “undisclosed” (Serenity Kids on 2025-02-26; Applied Food Sciences, Inc. on 2023-08-08). Several smaller disclosed deals also sit in the “Series Unknown” bucket (e.g., Mayawell $20K on 2024-07-09; Spiritless $4M on 2023-08-22).

Aside from the dominant “Series Unknown” label, the most frequently repeated named stages are Series A and Series B, each appearing multiple times: Series A includes Nine Banded Whiskey ($10M on 2023-12-14) and Afia ($3M on 2023-06-06), while Series B includes NadaMoo ($10M on 2021-12-07). Named stages also show lower frequency for others, such as Seed (Future/Proof $800K on 2021-02-09) and Grant (Texas Restaurant Foundation $400K on 2021-12-17).
