Case Studies
Consumer / Food & Beverage
N!CK’S raised $100m with Qvantea
Company size: 100 FTEs
Industry: Foodtech, Snacking, sugar replacement
Founded: 2017
Headquarters: Stockholm, Sweden
Challenge
Was looking for a experienced and stable capital partner to help them scale into the US and professionalize the company.
Outcome
Raised $100m in commons shares at an attractive valuation. The round was led by Temasek and Kinnevik. Added industry experts to the board, grew to sell 8 million pints in the US and majority of revenue from the US.
NEOH secured DACH distribution and raised $50m with Qvantea
Company size: Undisclosed
Industry: Foodtech, Snacking, sugar replacement
Founded: 2016
Headquarters: Vienna, Austria
Challenge
NEOH sought to replicate its Austrian success by breaking into the German market. To do so, it needed nationwide distribution, stronger supply-chain resilience, and stable gross margins amid global volatility. The company also aimed to secure around $5-10 million in growth capital to fund expansion and production scale-up.
Outcome
Through Qvantea’s advisory, NEOH raised $50 million from REWE Group—one of Germany’s largest supermarket chains—alongside Seventure Partners, Zintinus, and Sucden Group, which trades about 15 % of the world’s sugar. Support from the Ferrero family helped NEOH lock in long-term cocoa supply and future pricing. The investment now enables nationwide distribution in Germany and secures the company’s cost structure and growth trajectory.
El Taco Truck secured a strong strategic partner to beef up distribution and enable growth
Company size: Undisclosed
Industry: Food, consumer
Founded: 2012
Headquarters: Stockholm, Sweden
Challenge
El Taco Truck had reached meaningful scale and achieved breakeven, validating its premium positioning and strong consumer demand. However, moving beyond this point required significant investment in distribution, a larger sales force, and more efficient production. With limited financial headroom, further standalone expansion risked slowing growth and pushing the business into stagnation.
Outcome
Through the transaction, El Taco Truck joined forces with Kavli, one of the largest sauce and condiment players in the Nordics with an established retail distribution network, mature production platform, and a strong in-house sales organisation. Kavli’s scale enables lower production costs while its sales and retail relationships accelerate nationwide distribution. The transaction positions El Taco Truck for its next growth phase by pairing a premium challenger brand with industrial strength and commercial reach.
