In another sign of the faux meat boom, Daring Foods Inc. has raised $40 million from investors -- including entertainer Drake -- after debuting its plant-based chicken last year.
The series B funding round was led by D1 Capital Partners and joined by existing investors Maveron and Palm Tree Crew, Daring said. The company, which declined to comment on its valuation, raised $8 million in October.
