Conceptual Superfood Sweet Partnerships

Blue Stripes has raised $20 million in a Series B funding round to expand its innovative line of superfood chocolates. This round, led by investment firm Zintinus, included backing from major players like Hershey’s and renowned celebrity chef Nick DiGiovanni.

“I’ve known Oded for many years and have always described him to others as the ‘modern-day Willy Wonka’,” says DiGiovanni. “Over the years I’ve learned so much about the cacao industry, so I’m excited to be a part of the Blue Stripes team to show the world that cacao is so much more than just chocolate.”

By upcycling the entire cacao fruit, the company utilizes often-discarded parts like the cacao pulp and shell, transforming them into nutrient-packed superfood products. The $20 million funding will support Blue Stripes in scaling its operations, developing new products, and broadening its market reach.
