🎉 Kaoba Cacofruit Secures First Fundraise to Fuel 2026 Expansion

We’re thrilled to share some big news — Kaoba has successfully closed its first fundraising round, raising £500,000 to support our growth throughout 2026. This exciting milestone was recently announced in The Grocer, one of the UK’s leading industry publications — and it marks a pivotal moment in our mission to bring cacaofruit refreshment to a global audience.

Since day one, Kaoba has been driven by a simple belief: that the cacao fruit — usually discarded in chocolate production — holds incredible flavour and sustainability potential. By turning this often-overlooked fruit into a sparkling, naturally fruity drink, we’re creating a product that’s delicious, simple, and environmentally conscious.

This first investment round demonstrates real confidence in what we’re building. The capital raised will enable us to scale production, expand distribution, and accelerate our innovation pipeline — bringing more flavours, formats, and availability to new markets and more retail partners. It’s a huge step forward for the team, our partners, and everyone who’s supported the Kaoba journey so far.

Our vision has always been bigger than a great drink — we’re aiming to transform cacaofruit from a by-product into a staple refreshment that’s enjoyed around the world. With this new funding behind us, we’re closer than ever to making that a reality.

Watch this space — 2026 is going to be a landmark year for Kaoba.
