When David entered the functional food scene, it didn’t just make a splash—it redefined what a protein bar could be. With a jaw-dropping 28 grams of protein, zero sugar, and only 150 calories per bar, David’s flagship product instantly set a new benchmark in protein-to-calorie ratio. Add in a surprisingly enjoyable taste and texture, and it’s no wonder this upstart brand quickly found itself in over 3,000 retail stores nationwide.
Now, just months after its breakout debut, David is back in the headlines—and this time, it’s not just because of the macros.
This week, David secured a massive $75 million Series A funding round, led by Greenoaks and Valor Equity Partners. The move signals not just investor confidence, but also the brand’s intent to scale fast. With consumer demand surging and shelves already struggling to stay stocked, the fresh capital will help the company expand production, boost inventory, and fast-track future product development—all while keeping its mission laser-focused: high protein, minimal calories, no compromises.
And David didn’t stop there.
In a bold strategic move, the company has also acquired Epogee, the innovative developer behind EPG—the plant-based fat alternative that helps give David bars their ridiculously low-calorie count without sacrificing taste or mouthfeel. By bringing this critical ingredient in-house, David is gaining tighter control over its supply chain and unlocking even more potential for innovation in the low-calorie, high-performance snack category.
With its first full year barely underway, David is already projecting to surpass $100 million in revenue—a rare feat in the food space. But what’s more impressive is how it’s doing it: by building a product people can’t stop talking about, and by making smart, strategic moves that position it for long-term success.
One product. Two flavors turned into four. Now a $75 million war chest and a powerhouse acquisition. If this is just the beginning, the future of functional food might very well be spelled D-A-V-I-D.
