Soom Foods: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Soom Foods is a tahini company committed to providing delicious, nutritious, and versatile premium tahini. It is a sister-owned purveyor of globally inspired pantry staples for celebrated chefs and home cooks. Soom tahini starts with a White Humera sesame seed from the northwest region of Ethiopia and is then processed at a plant in Israel, where the seeds are mechanically hulled and roasted before being pressed, with no added salt or oil, into a paste. The finished product gets shipped to Soom’s headquarters in North Philadelphia.

About FundedIQ's Soom Foods Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Soom Foods is left off this page rather than filled in.
