“We’re thrilled to announce the funding as well as the addition of these key investors who have proven themselves in the industry,” said Billy Bosch, co-founder and CEO of Iconic. The funding round also includes and includes Bill Moses, KeVita co-founder and former CEO, who is now Iconic’s executive chairman.

“KarpReilly is one of the savviest investors in the food and beverage space and we welcome both their guidance and Bill’s leadership as we continue to disrupt the protein category.”

Iconic plans to develop products and build out its leadership team with the funding. The company plans to announce new flavors by the end of the year.
