The business reports that it has served 1 million plant-based meals since then. 

Every week allplants cooks more than 20,000 vegan meals.

The company plans to add new food categories, and develop a new 20,000 square feet  production kitchen in London to be able to serve over 60,000 meals a week. 

Jonathan ‘JP’ Petrides, Founder and CEO said: “With this investment, we will continue to fuel the plant-based movement.”

The investors believe the company has the ability to build a global brand.

Antoine Nussenbaum, Partner at Felix Capital, said: “We have been lucky to partner with the allplants team early in their journey, three years ago. JP and Alex are on an authentic mission to build a category defining brand within the plant-based movement. We have been impressed by the journey so far materialised by clear customer love and are excited about the ambitious plans ahead.” 

The company plans a bigger Series B for the end of 2020.
