Koley Jessen Represents Bread & Butter Ventures in Series Seed Investment in Maternal Nutrition Startup
Koley Jessen acted as legal counsel to lead investor, Bread & Butter Ventures, in a $3 million series seed investment round in Chiyo, a food-as-medicine startup dedicated to supporting new mothers with fertility through postpartum nutrition.
Chiyo's current offerings include meal delivery services, digital guides, and health coaching tailored to the unique nutritional needs of women at every stage of motherhood. Taking its next stride, the company now has its sights set on building what it considers a "first-of-its-kind" research database of nutrition for women’s health and digital platform for personalized self-guided content and nutrition programs.
The series seed financing led by Bread & Butter Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm based in Minnesota, will fuel Chiyo's efforts to advance the development of its innovative digital platform. Additionally, it will enable the company to scale its distribution through clinics and its practitioner community and invest in additional food as medicine research.
The Koley Jessen team was led by attorneys David Winkler, Tina Struck, and Jen Oertli.
