Among the 15 Berlin food-and-beverage startups shown, the largest disclosed round is Choco’s $111M Series B on 2022-04-12. That figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts—The Rainforest Company’s $38M (2022-12-16) and KoRo’s $37M (2024-11-20)—with most other disclosed rounds clustering between $1M and $65M (e.g., Perfeggt $1M on 2022-03-10; Marley Spoon $65M on 2021-07-01; Smunch.co $18M on 2020-10-14). A stage-data pattern also stands out: “undisclosed/Series Unknown” dominates, appearing on 7 of the 15 rows (Wholely 2025-02-06; Nosh Biofoods 2024-09-02; Homemeal 2023-03-07; Marley Spoon AG 2023-02-07; Zeit für Brot 2022-07-25; Laori Drinks 2022-06-03; Marley Spoon 2023 is not applicable but the row with undisclosed is counted; the remaining 2 of the 7 include those marked “Series Unknown” in the table). The disclosed rounds also concentrate into a compact 2021–2023 window, where 8 of the 15 dated entries fall (2020: 2 rows; 2024: 2 rows; 2025: 1 row), and the page spans 2020-06-18 (Mia & Ben) through 2025-02-06 (Wholly).

Frequently asked
What stands out about the size distribution of disclosed rounds in this Berlin food-and-beverage set?
Choco’s disclosed $111M Series B on 2022-04-12 is the only round in the $100M range here, and it is substantially above the next-largest disclosed amounts: $38M (The Rainforest Company, 2022-12-16) and $37M (KoRo, 2024-11-20). Several others sit well below that, including Perfeggt at $1M (2022-03-10) and Mia & Ben at $3M (2020-06-18).
Do the deals cluster in time, or are they evenly spread across the years shown?
They cluster heavily in the middle of the window: 8 of the 15 rows have round dates between 2021-01-01 and 2023-12-31 (e.g., Marley Spoon 2021-07-01 at $65M; Choco 2022-04-12 at $111M; The Rainforest Company 2022-12-16 at $38M). In contrast, only 2 entries fall in 2024 (KoRo 2024-11-20 and Nosh Biofoods 2024-09-02, both with limited disclosed sizing), and 1 entry appears in 2025 (Wholly on 2025-02-06, undisclosed).
Which entries behave like outliers within the disclosed-dollar subset?
Choco’s $111M (2022-04-12) is the dominant upside outlier on disclosed size, while Perfeggt’s $1M on 2022-03-10 is a clear downside outlier at the bottom of disclosed amounts. Between those extremes, disclosed figures also include single-digit rounds like Mia & Ben ($3M, 2020-06-18) and Aitme ($9M, 2021-06-15), rather than a smooth ladder to $111M.
How much of the stage information is missing here (Series Unknown vs undisclosed), and what does that imply for comparability?
7 of the 15 rows are labeled as “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” (e.g., Wholey 2025-02-06 undisclosed; Nosh Biofoods 2024-09-02 Series Unknown; Zeit für Brot 2022-07-25 undisclosed; Laori Drinks 2022-06-03 undisclosed). Because those entries do not provide comparable disclosed stage/amounts, the most analysts can safely benchmark by size are the 8 rows with explicit dollar amounts (like KoRo $37M and Marley Spoon $65M).
Is there a stage mix pattern among the rounds that do disclose amounts?
Among disclosed rounds, early-stage markers appear alongside much larger financings: Seed/Pre-Seed is represented by Veganz ($11M, 2024-08-05 is Series Unknown) but more concretely Perfeggt ($1M, Pre-Seed on 2022-03-10), while Angel is represented by no disclosed amount here (Laori Drinks is undisclosed). Meanwhile, the largest disclosed rounds are later-labeled categories—Choco is Series B at $111M (2022-04-12) and KoRo is Series C at $37M (2024-11-20), suggesting later-stage rounds account for the top end of the disclosed distribution.
Which time window contains the densest set of notable disclosed rounds?
Q2–Q4 2022 concentrates multiple large disclosed entries: Perfeggt closes $1M on 2022-03-10, Choco closes $111M on 2022-04-12, and The Rainforest Company closes $38M on 2022-12-16. Even with the presence of undisclosed-labeled deals in that year (e.g., Laori Drinks 2022-06-03 undisclosed; Zeit für Brot 2022-07-25 undisclosed), the disclosed-dollar highlights are clustered strongly within 2022.
