Disclosed round sizes in Sweden’s food and beverage list are tightly clustered except for one outlier: Curb Food raised $24M on 2021-06-07, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts of $5M (Klimato on 2023-03-17) and $4M (Opticept Technologies on 2025-05-13). At the other end, the smallest disclosed amount is $500K for VEAT (2020-11-05), while several others sit between $520K and $2M (Innoscentia 2025-01-21 at $520K; Foodtel 2024-09-03 at $2M; Saveggy 2024-04-15 at $2M; Veg of Lund 2022-06-16 at $2M).
Most rounds concentrate in a recent band: 8 of the 11 entries fall between 2023-03-17 and 2025-09-09, including the most recent, SMAQO (undisclosed) on 2025-09-09. Geography clusters around Sweden’s largest cities, with multiple entries based in Stockholm (Curb Food 2021-06-07 at $24M; Veg of Lund is listed in Malmö, but multiple Stockholm entries include Klimato 2023-03-17 at $5M; VEAT 2020-11-05 at $500K), plus repeated activity in Malmö/Lund/Skåne (e.g., Opticept Technologies in Lund at $4M on 2025-05-13; Innoscentia in Malmö at $520K on 2025-01-21). Stage disclosures are uneven: 3 of 11 are “Series Unknown” (Opticept Technologies, Sproud, Hooked Foods) and 1 of 11 is explicitly “undisclosed” (SMAQO).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round on this list, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
Curb Food’s $24M round on 2021-06-07 is the clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $5M (Klimato on 2023-03-17) and $4M (Opticept Technologies on 2025-05-13), with many other disclosed rounds grouped around $2M or below (e.g., Foodtel and Saveggy at $2M).
Are rounds clustered in time, or spread across the whole period shown?
They’re skewed toward recent years: 8 of 11 rounds are dated between 2023-03-17 (Klimato) and 2025-09-09 (SMAQO). The oldest dated entry is VEAT on 2020-11-05, with only two entries before 2022 (Curb Food 2021-06-07 and VEAT 2020-11-05).
Which locations show concentration, based on where these companies are listed?
Stockholm appears repeatedly across different deals (Curb Food on 2021-06-07 at $24M; Klimato on 2023-03-17 at $5M; VEAT on 2020-11-05 at $500K). The Skåne region also recurs through multiple Malmö/Lund entries, such as Opticept Technologies in Lund at $4M (2025-05-13) and Innoscentia in Malmö at $520K (2025-01-21).
How complete is the stage/amount disclosure pattern on this page?
Stage labels are often not specified: 3 of 11 entries are marked “Series Unknown” (Opticept Technologies, Sproud, Hooked Foods). Amount disclosure is also uneven: 2 of 11 are “undisclosed” (SMAQO on 2025-09-09 and Sproud on 2025-05-09), while the rest show disclosed dollar amounts.
Which stage shows up with meaningful funding amounts rather than just missing/unknown fields?
“Seed” rounds combine both mid-sized and low-to-mid disclosed figures: Klimato’s Seed round is $5M on 2023-03-17 and Saveggy’s Seed round is $2M on 2024-04-15, while VEAT is 2020-11-05 with a disclosed $500K but without a labeled series. By contrast, Series A (Foodtel on 2024-09-03) is disclosed at $2M, and “Post-IPO Debt” (Veg of Lund on 2022-06-16) is $2M.
