Doughlicious®, the better-for-you frozen novelty brand known for its artisanal frozen cookie dough-enrobed gelato bites, indulgent flavours, and clean ingredients is thrilled to announce a major milestone in its journey: a £3.8m fundraise round led by Rich Products Ventures (RPV), the corporate venture capital fund of global, family-owned food company Rich Products (Rich's), and private investor collective The Angel Group, along with participation from existing investors.

This exciting fundraise marks a pivotal moment for Doughlicious as it accelerates its expansion across the U.S. and international markets. With a long track record of helping innovative food startups scale, gain a competitive edge and achieve their full potential, RPV brings deep category expertise and global distribution support. The Angel Group, a network of visionary investors with a passion for disruptive consumer brands, brings strategic counsel, access to influential networks, and a shared commitment to long-term growth.

Doughlicious has already made a strong mark in retail, with distribution in major U.S. retailers including Target, Whole Foods, Wegmans, and GoPuff. The brand's line of frozen gelato bites wrapped in cookie dough and dusted in cookie crumb are gluten-free, made with natural ingredients, and available in both full-size and mini formats, offering a modern twist on nostalgic favourites.

Together, this dynamic trio - Doughlicious, Rich's, and The Angel Group - are baking up something truly special. With innovation, passion, and strategic resources in the mix, Doughlicious is ready to take the frozen novelty dessert world by storm.

This partnership with Rich's and The Angel Group is more than an investment - it's a vote of confidence in the future of Doughlicious and our mission to redefine indulgence. With their support, we're poised to grow faster, innovate smarter, and bring our crave-worthy creations to more consumers around the world.
Kathryn Bricken, Founder & CEO
Innovation is at the core of both Rich's and RPV, and we believe in the bold ideas that are shaping the future of food. Doughlicious is a great example of a brand that is delivering on what today's consumers want – smaller portions and clean-label offerings that don't sacrifice on taste. We're excited to help Doughlicious expand its footprint throughout the U.S. and shake up the freezer section with a new concept in permissible indulgence.
