Organic baby food start-up Little Spoon secures $22m in financing

US baby food delivery service Little Spoon has raised $22 million in a round of financing, led by private investment firm Valor Equity Partners.

The California-based start-up manufactures fresh organic meals for babies and children and delivers them direct to door.

Since its establishment three years ago, Little Spoon says it has delivered over 6 million meals to parents in all 48 contiguous states.

In order to tackle highly processed food options, the company’s portfolio consists of fresh organic purees (from baby’s first bites to advanced blends) and boosters, which include concentrated natural remedies and vitamins and probiotics in powder form.

Most recently, Little Spoon has launched a new line of healthy and nutritious meals for toddlers and kids. The company also operates a parenting platform called Is This Normal.

The capital will come from Valor Siren Ventures, a fund managed by Valor Equity Partners and backed by Starbucks and other CPG and retail corporations.
