Is the food and beverage funding freeze finally thawing? FABID’s Q1 2025 Report reveals a surprising rebound in deal size and investor appetite—just not where you might expect. While top-line numbers are up quarter-over-quarter, the details paint a more complex picture of who’s winning, who’s waiting, and what it takes to attract capital in today’s cautious climate.
As the report notes: “About $309M of the $367M invested in Q1 2025 went to companies that have raised $20M or more in total investment.” In other words, the money’s flowing—but mostly to those already in the fast lane.
This exclusive Insider report breaks down the biggest deals, trends by stage and size, and what they signal for emerging brands. Plus, get the inside scoop on a major acquisition and which investor is quietly shaping the next wave of category disruptors.
