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.
