About AccelFoods

AccelFoods is a New York-based venture capital firm founded in 2014 by Jordan Gaspar and Lauren Jupiter, specializing in food and beverage startups and operating as both an accelerator and fund. The firm invests in U.S. packaged food and beverage companies from pre-launch up to $10M+ in revenue, with a focus on natural products, plant-based proteins, functional beverages, and “snackification” trends. Typical check sizes range from $250,000 to $5 million, and AccelFoods often leads or co-invests using flexible structures including common stock, preferred equity, or convertible debt. Notable portfolio companies include Alpha Foods, Exo Protein Bars, Koia, Nounos Creamery, Right Rice, and Tea Drops. The firm distinguishes itself by offering operational support, proprietary retailer and distributor relationships, and access to corporate food partners that early-stage brands typically cannot secure. Lauren Jupiter has publicly emphasized their preference for “challenger brands” with relentless entrepreneurs and go-to-market strategies that push industry boundaries, aiming for paths to $100M+ in sales.
