Drake Backs Plant-Based Chicken Company
Drake’s financial contribution to Daring Foods will reportedly help them expand to more retailers in the next year. This support enables the brand to compete with other big-name fake meat brands like Beyond Meat and Gardein.
In another sign of the faux meat boom, Daring Foods Inc. has raised $40 million from investors — including entertainer Drake — after debuting its plant-based chicken last year. The series B funding round was led by D1 Capital Partners and joined by existing investors Maveron and Palm Tree Crew, Daring said. The company, which declined to comment on its valuation, raised $8 million in October. (Bloomberg)
Daring Foods made sure to hit up its social media pages to confirm the massive power move.
“Celebrating our Series B raise today with a team of truly visionary investors–including one you may have heard of 👀. Let’s go daring!”
