Berlin-based FoodTech startup Lanch has secured €26 million in Series A funding, led by London's Felix Capital and HV Capital. According to information from Trending Topics, the company has established itself as a key player in the FoodTech ecosystem since its founding in 2023.
With a team of over 100 employees, Lanch has developed a technology platform that enables creators and celebrities to launch and scale their own restaurant chains. A prime example of their success is German rapper Luciano's "Loco Chicken," which has expanded to more than 10 physical locations and 350 delivery points across Germany. In just 14 months, the brand has gained significant presence in over 100 German cities and is available through major delivery platforms including Wolt, UberEats, and Lieferando.
"Our 'Growth-OS' for next-generation food brands has proven successful with strong retail presence and rapid expansion of our locations," says Nono Konopka, CEO and co-founder of Lanch. The fresh capital will be used to expand their network of locations, attract franchise partners, develop virtual kitchens, and launch new food and retail products.
Felix Capital founder Frederic Court praised the company's ability to redefine how we think about food, brands, and creativity, highlighting their success in building sustainable emotional and cultural customer relationships.
The startup will continue investing in its proprietary software platform to optimize operational processes as it scales its innovative approach to creator-led food brands.
