Eat Just has $850M on record. The latest round is a $16M Series F (September 2023). Size your own round against the evidence it must buy, not against the stage letter.
Key takeaways
- Round size should be derived from the evidence the next investor needs, not from the stage label.
- Named participants on a record tell you which funds write at this size and stage.
- Plan the raise timeline backwards from your cash-out date, with a third added for slippage.
A company's funding history is a sequence of promises kept or renegotiated. When the latest round is a small share of lifetime capital, the earlier rounds are still doing most of the work on the cap table.
The record here belongs to Josh Tetrick, founder of Eat Just (San Francisco, United States).
| | | |---|---| | Founder | Josh Tetrick | | Company | Eat Just (San Francisco, United States) | | Total raised | $850M | | Latest round | Series F — $16M | | Round date | September 2023 | | Named participants on record | The Ahimsa Foundation, VegInvest |
This round is 2% of everything raised to date, so earlier rounds still shape the cap table.
The round size sets the next evidence bar. Investors size the following round against what this one was expected to buy. Write that expectation down before you sign.
Named participants signal the buyer pool. The Ahimsa Foundation, VegInvest are on record here. Funds with that profile are the realistic audience for a comparable raise.
Timing is data. The round closed in September 2023. Fundraises take longer than founders plan; count backwards from the date you need cash, not from the date you want a term sheet.
1. Write the two or three pieces of evidence your next round must show. 2. Cost out the months and headcount required to produce that evidence, then add a third for slippage. 3. Build the investor list from funds that have written cheques of this size at this stage, not from brand preference. 4. Ask each lead what they expect to see at the next round, and hold them to it in writing.
The letter on the round matters far less than whether the money buys the evidence the next buyer needs.
