Ten food-and-beverage funding entries span from 2020-12-16 (BE WTR, $3M) to 2026-05-01 (Calori, $1M). The disclosed round sizes show a clear size outlier: Volare’s $30M (2025-05-27) is the only disclosed deal above $10M, while the next-largest disclosed rounds are $11M (Foodiq, 2025-05-07) and $5M (Huuva, 2022-06-01), with most others clustered between $550K and $3M. Geographically, the concentration is strong in the Helsinki region: Helsinki-based companies include Calori (2026-05-01, $1M), Foodiq (2025-05-07, $11M), Happy Plant Protein (2024-11-12, $2M), Munchfam (2024-10-10, $660K), Vegemi (2024-01-24, $550K), and Huuva (2022-06-01, $5M), alongside BE WTR (Helsinki, 2020-12-16, $3M). Temporally, there’s a dense mid-2025 window: three rounds close between 2025-05-07 and 2025-06-18 (Foodiq $11M, Volare $30M, Hailia Oy $2M), indicating renewed activity after a 2024-11-12 high point.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the standout in this Finland food-and-beverage set, and how far ahead is it?
Volare’s $30M (2025-05-27) is the only disclosed round above $10M in the 10-row view. The next-largest disclosed amount is $11M (Foodiq, 2025-05-07), while several other rounds sit at $5M or below (e.g., Huuva $5M in 2022-06-01; BE WTR $3M in 2020-12-16).
Do the most recent entries cluster by time, or are they evenly spread across years?
They cluster in mid-2025: three rounds fall between 2025-05-07 and 2025-06-18 (Foodiq $11M on 2025-05-07; Volare $30M on 2025-05-27; Hailia Oy $2M on 2025-06-18). Outside that window, there are earlier points such as Huuva on 2022-06-01 ($5M) and BE WTR on 2020-12-16 ($3M), creating a longer tail back to 2020.
Are any cities over-represented across these companies?
Helsinki appears repeatedly: Calori (Helsinki, 2026-05-01, $1M), Foodiq (Helsinki, 2025-05-07, $11M), Happy Plant Protein (2024-11-12, $2M), Munchfam (2024-10-10, $660K), Vegemi (2024-01-24, $550K), Huuva (2022-06-01, $5M), and BE WTR (Helsinki, 2020-12-16, $3M). Other locations are present but less frequent (e.g., Espoo for Nordic Umami Company on 2023-01-02 at $2M).
What stage mix dominates, and how many deals have unspecified stage labels?
Pre-Seed and Seed both recur, with Pre-Seed shown for Calori (2026-05-01, $1M), Happy Plant Protein (2024-11-12, $2M), and Vegemi (2024-01-24, $550K). Seed appears for Hailia Oy (2025-06-18, $2M), Munchfam (2024-10-10, $660K), Nordic Umami Company (2023-01-02, $2M), and Huuva (2022-06-01, $5M). “Series Unknown” shows up in 2 entries (Volare $30M on 2025-05-27; Foodiq $11M on 2025-05-07), and one row has a blank stage label for BE WTR (2020-12-16, $3M).
Are there any unusually small rounds that differ from the rest of the distribution?
Yes: Vegemi’s $550K (2024-01-24) is the smallest disclosed amount in the list. This is well below multiple $1M–$3M rounds (Calori $1M on 2026-05-01; BE WTR $3M on 2020-12-16) and far below the $11M–$30M range represented by Foodiq (2025-05-07) and Volare (2025-05-27).
