GoodSAM Foods Secures $9M Series A to Scale Regenerative Food Movement

 GoodSAM Foods, the mission-driven food brand dedicated to regenerative agriculture, transparency, and farmer empowerment, today announced a $9 million Series A funding round. This milestone reflects growing investor confidence in sustainable food systems and patient capital models that prioritize long-term impact over short-term gains. The investment also marks a notable achievement for a female-founded and led company, as women entrepreneurs continue to face disproportionate barriers in fundraising. In 2023, companies founded solely by women garnered just 2% of the total capital invested in U.S. venture-backed startups (PitchBook), underscoring the significance of this raise.

The round was led by Alive Ventures in Bogotá, Colombia and Desert Bloom in the U.S., with additional participation from LATAM Impact Fund (Sonen Capital & Fondo de Fondos, MX), Promotora Social Mexico, One Small Planet (Peterffy Family Foundation) and Connecticut Innovations. With this funding, GoodSAM has raised a total of $10.5 million, including previous investments from entities such as Thrive Market, JellyShot, Cynthia Tice the founder of Lily’s Sweets, and BeyondBrands.
