Alec’s Ice Cream Raises $11 Million to Scale Regenerative Model

Alec's Ice Cream, an A2 regenerative organic ice cream brand, announced the successful closing of its oversubscribed $11 million Series A funding round led by Imaginary Ventures. Additional investors include Great Circle Ventures, Altelan Capital, DAYBREAKER, Dr. Anthony Guston and Monique Volz (Ambitious Kitchen). The funding will support Alec's Ice Cream's mission to assist farmers in building regenerative supply chains and accelerate growth through innovation, marketing, and team expansion—paving the way for a more sustainable food future.

This raise follows Alec's Ice Cream's viral sellout launch of Culture Cup, its new line of pre- and probiotic single-serve cups, now available nationwide at Whole Foods Market, Wegmans and Target. Building on the success of its award-winning pints—including standout flavors like Peanut Butter Fudge Honeycomb, Palm Springs Banana Chocolate Date Shake, and Tahitian Vanilla Bean—the brand has experienced rapid growth in 2025. Now available in 3,000 retail locations and on track to double its year-over-year sales, the brand is poised for continued expansion into grocery and retail channels nationwide.

Founded in 2020, Alec's Ice Cream is on a mission to reimagine the food system by going beyond organic to support regenerative farming that helps reverse climate change. Through the universally loved treat of ice cream, Alec's seeks to inspire consumers to choose foods that taste better, support regenerative farmers, and are better for their health—and the planet.
