HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — Cove Kombucha, a CPG Health Beverage company, announced that they have raised 4.5M in funding to expand across Canada and into the United States.
Cove Kombucha, Canada’s fastest growing kombucha brand, announces a multi-million-dollar equity funding round raised through Canaccord Genuity, with debt financing provided by CIBC and Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA). The company attracted the Vancouver based investment bank in 2019 when they raised 1.2M for their equity seed round. Less than two years later they have quadrupled their funding and reached a valuation high of 50M.
“We are experiencing fast growth and managed to complete another great raise with Canaccord. It was a necessary component for us to continue to scale quickly and wisely.” says John MacLellan, CEO.
MacLellan says the funding earned through investments will be used to further growth throughout North America.
“This raise will fuel inventory and marketing, as well as allow for new experienced hires. We are excited to continue our Canadian expansion and soon move into the U.S. market.”
Cove Kombucha boasts successful expansion at a national level, including the recent addition of several Safeways in Western Canada, and all of Loblaws Ontario.
