Acid League secures $3.8m in Series A funding

Acid League, a producer of “acid-driven” pantry staples, has raised CAD 4.75 million ($3.8 million approx.) in a Series A funding round led by venture capital firms InvestEco Capital and BrandProject.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Acid League offers a portfolio of products – including vinegars, sauces, syrups and non-alcoholic wine proxies – that is produced using fermentation.

The brand launched into the market in August last year, with nationwide distribution in the US at Whole Foods Market and through a direct-to-consumer platform.

“As a young start-up, we’re extremely proud to have secured funding from such reputable, mission-driven firms like InvestEco and BrandProject this early in the game,” said Scott Friedmann, co-founder of Acid League.

“A year ago, Acid League didn’t even have a website, a logo or packaging, yet launched into Whole Foods stores nationwide. And today we’ve doubled our product footprint at Whole Foods, introduced over 35 products to date and gained the support of two amazing venture capital firms that will help us continue to grow and disrupt.”
