Siddhi Capital’s successful fund round-up
Their first successful fund was launched in 2020 when they accrued $70 million and made some noteworthy investments. The keys to their success were selecting early-stage startups that held the potential to reshape the future of food and leveraging their extensive knowledge of the financial services and food and beverage industry.
The Dedication to Innovation

The company invests significantly in food-tech enterprises dedicated to revolutionizing their domain with improved production methods, sustainable techniques, and the invention of novel ingredients.

New Approach to Investment Relationships
Siddhi Capital’s Melissa Facchina is calling for a reassessment of the relationship between investors and the companies they back; she aims to secure board memberships for Siddhi Capital in these companies. As a result, Facchina has been appointed to the boards of various food companies.
The Future of Venture Capital
Despite the present challenges encountered by venture capitalists in raising funds, Facchina remains staunchly optimistic. Her positive outlook is largely influenced by the Federal Reserve’s plan to reduce interest rates by 2024, a move expected to encourage increased lending from financial institutions and promote the future acquisition of necessary funding.
