As appetite for meal kits grow, Gousto grabs massive bite of $230 million led by SoftBank
Summary
Grabbing a fantastic share of the pie in this sector, London-based meal-kit service and profitable B Corp unicorn Gousto has received a $230 million secondary placing. The other participants in the secondary round included Fidelity International, Grosvenor Food & AgTech and Railpen, the U.K.’s seventh-largest pension fund. The news comes on the back of its recent stellar $100 million funding led by SoftBank VF2 in January 2022 in a round that valued the UK startup at $1.7 billion. The business founded by Timo Boldt in 2012 has been on a mission to meet the ever-increasing consumer need to eat healthily at an affordable cost. We believe they have succeeded in disrupting the traditional grocery channel when it comes to how we consume the evening meal and are excited to be joining the Gousto journey.”
