Mezcla Raises $4 Million in Series A Round

Mezcla, a snacking company known for its innovative use of quinoa to combine the texture of classic rice crisps with traditional protein bar flavors, has successfully secured $4 million in Series A funding, led by Dream Ventures and Santatera Capital.

Mezcla, founded in 2019 by Spolansky and Coco Sotelo, co-founder, offers plant-based protein bars crafted from pea protein crisps, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, nut butters, and infused with flavors like pistachio and blueberry.

Having engaged in three funding rounds, Mezcla has secured significant investments, including $1.1 million in a pre-seed round, $2.3 million in a seed round, and most recently, $4.1 million in a Series A round, totaling $7.5 million in funds raised.

Spolansky commented, “I think we were able to do that because we’ve delivered on everything we said we would deliver on for the past two or three years. What’s exciting for us is you see that continued belief in our business.”

With the new funding, the company aims to expand its presence in retailers, grow its team, and enhance production scalability.
