Dutch Beverage Startup Founteyn Secures €19.3M In Series A Round

The funding will support the development of its chilling, carbonation, and capsule-based beverage dispensing technology, with investments from APG on behalf of ABP, alongside Flying Fish and Leysern Aquacore.

Boyd Mulder, Founder and CEO of Founteyn, says: “This funding validates that the beverage industry is ready for a stir up. Our patented system delivers freshly made drinks with no compromise on taste, while providing an alternative to ordering, stocking, and storing cans and bottles. As a sustainable option that cuts single-use packaging by up to 80%, we’re helping businesses simplify operations and serve people better.”

In the context of European beverage and FoodTech funding in 2025, Founteyn’s Series A stands out as one of the larger single rounds in the sector this year.

Other recent funding activity, reported by EU-Startups, points to a more fragmented landscape: London-based Goodrays raised €5.7 million to scale its CBD-infused drinks brand; Amsterdam-based Aquablu secured €7 million to expand its smart water dispenser platform for workplaces; and UK-based natural energy drink company MISSION raised €2.3 million to grow distribution and develop its functional drinks portfolio.

Altogether, these announcements suggest approximately €13 million circulating within the ecosystem this year.

“With support from APG, on behalf of ABP, and partnerships with PepsiCo and EuroCaps, we’re transforming how beverage brands reach consumers and how businesses serve & delight their employees and customers. We’re also in active discussions with forward-thinking partners as we build toward our Series B in late 2026,” adds Mulder.

Founded in 2015, Founteyn is revolutionising beverage delivery with a sustainable capsule system that combines taste, variety, and convenience for away-from-home locations.

Founteyn brews hot, cold, still, and sparkling drinks in under 15 seconds using the capsule system. This innovation reportedly reduces the weight, volume, and packaging of single-serve drinks by up to 80% and cuts CO2 emissions by more than 50%.

Founteyn targets the global office and SME beverage delivery market, valued between €1.7 billion and €4.5 billion in 2025. Focusing on corporate sustainability and workspace efficiency the company plans an initial launch in the US and anticipates a Series B round in late 2026 or early 2027 to drive global expansion.
