Nuetonic

UK-founded functional drinks brand Neutonic has raised $6 million at a $60 million post-money valuation, capital it will use to push retail distribution in the UK and US and to launch in Australia. The round takes the brand's total raised to $10 million across 85+ investors, per the company's own disclosures.

The trajectory

Founded in 2023, Neutonic has sold more than 7.5 million cans to date and is on track to exceed $25 million in revenue this year, according to the brand.

Join European founders, operators, and investors who read The Checkout every week.

The product is now stocked in over 10,000 retail locations globally across grocery, specialist retail, and fitness — a footprint that has grown alongside a healthy DTC channel.

A cap table built for category know-how

The most interesting feature of this round is the operator-heavy investor mix. Notable names participating include:

  • Alan Barratt — founder of UK protein bar brand Grenade
  • Zach Ranen, former president and co-founder of David Protein
  • Nomit Shah, former CFO of Onnit
  • Dan Martell, founder & CEO of Martell Ventures
  • Codie Sanchez, investor and operator
  • Ross Edgley, endurance athlete and author
  • Ollie Marchon, founder & CEO of Marchon
  • Jay Parker, owner and CEO of Gym King, who has also joined as a special advisor

The capital will fund three things, per the brand:

  • Retail expansion in the UK and US, plus the Australia launch
  • Strategic hires across product, commercial, and operations
  • Product innovation to extend the line
