The Naked Market, a San Francisco, CA-based next generation CPG business building a portfolio of food & beverage brands, raised $27.5m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Integrated Capital with participation from Great Oaks Venture Capital, Pacific Tiger Group, Sope Creek Capital and Clearco.
With this new capital, which is a mix of equity and debt, the company will focus on in-house incubation (both internal brands & celebrity products), scaling existing brands and opportunistic acquisitions.
