Across the 35 most recent Germany food-and-beverage rounds, the largest disclosed amount is Choco’s $111M Series B (2022-04-12), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds of $65M (Marley Spoon, debt financing on 2021-07-01) and $47M (Air Up, venture—series unknown on 2021-09-21). A second size cluster sits around the high tens: Planet A Foods ($30M on 2024-12-05), KoRo ($37M on 2024-11-20), and The Rainforest Company ($38M on 2022-12-16) are materially larger than the seed and angel tickets like Kynda’s $3M (2025-02-19) and Freshtaste’s $1M (2024-05-13).
City and timing patterns are also visible. Berlin-based companies account for a concentrated slice—Wholey (undisclosed, 2025-02-06), KoRo ($37M, 2024-11-20), Nosh Biofoods (undisclosed, 2024-09-02), Veganz ($11M, 2024-08-05), and multiple entries in 2021–2023—while rounds span 2020-04-21 (YFood Labs, $17M) through the most recent entry on 2025-02-19 (Kynda, $3M). On stage/amount disclosure, 11 of 35 rounds are labeled “undisclosed” and another 9 use “Series Unknown,” indicating that only a subset of rounds can be cleanly compared by named stage.

Frequently asked
What round size stands out most in this Germany food-and-beverage set, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Choco’s $111M (Series B, 2022-04-12) is the largest disclosed round in the table and it significantly exceeds the next-largest disclosed amounts: $65M (Marley Spoon, debt financing, 2021-07-01) and $47M (Air Up, venture—series unknown, 2021-09-21). Most other disclosed rounds cluster well below that level, including $38M for The Rainforest Company (2022-12-16) and $37M for KoRo (2024-11-20).
Are any cities or geographies over-represented among the funded companies listed here?
Berlin appears repeatedly across years and stages: Wholey (undisclosed, 2025-02-06), KoRo ($37M, 2024-11-20), Nosh Biofoods (undisclosed, 2024-09-02), Veganz ($11M, 2024-08-05), and multiple other Berlin entries such as Marley Spoon ($65M, 2021-07-01) and Smunch.co ($18M, 2020-10-14). Other cities (e.g., Munich, Hamburg, Berlin’s frequent counterpart) show up, but none match Berlin’s density across the 35 rows.
How much of the dataset concentrates in the most recent months visible on the page?
In the most recent ~2 months of listed rounds, there are at least three entries: Kynda ($3M, 2025-02-19), Wholey (undisclosed, 2025-02-06), and Planet A Foods ($30M, 2024-12-05 is just outside that window but part of the immediate post-2024 peak). The next tightly packed cluster follows through late 2024 with KoRo ($37M, 2024-11-20) and Veganz ($11M, 2024-08-05), suggesting recent activity is not evenly distributed.
What stage label mix dominates, and how much can be compared when stages are unknown or undisclosed?
Named stages are far from universal: 11 of 35 rows are explicitly “undisclosed,” and an additional 9 rows show “Series Unknown.” By contrast, specific stages like Seed (e.g., Kynda $3M on 2025-02-19; Freshtaste $1M on 2024-05-13) and Series B (Planet A Foods $30M on 2024-12-05; Choco $111M on 2022-04-12) appear but cannot represent the full distribution.
Are there outliers worth focusing on beyond the single largest disclosed round?
Yes. Koralo is an outlier on the low end at $120K (2022-11-14), while the largest disclosed amounts are all in the tens of millions or higher—e.g., Air Up $47M (2021-09-21), Marley Spoon $65M (2021-07-01), and Choco $111M (2022-04-12). On the high end, the table also includes multiple late-2024/early-2023 high-ticket rounds such as The Rainforest Company $38M (2022-12-16) and KoRo $37M (2024-11-20), which sit above most disclosed seed/angel amounts like Pumpkin Organics $4M (2023-05-17).
