Yolk: Funding, Investors & Team (Aug 2026)

Yolk was born out of frustration - in London, a wonderful culinary city, why should grab-&-go be so dull? Bored of bland staples and flavourless chains, we craved a takeaway option that doesn't compromise on excitement. And so, after years of pop-ups and thousands of test kitchen hours, we opened our first Yolk. Now we work with the best local suppliers and obsess over the details, to serve food & coffee of which we're truly proud.

About FundedIQ's Yolk 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 Yolk is left off this page rather than filled in.
