Montchis raises €555,000 in a round led by Faraday to drive innovation
Madrid, April 23, 2025 – Montchis, a company specialized in fifth-range artisan pastry with a focus on fresh and frozen cheesecakes, has successfully closed a €555,000 funding round led by Faraday Venture Partners. The round also included key participation from Grupo Roctin, SeedRocket, and M&A expert Guillermo Flores.
This funding will enable the company to scale its growth with the goal of surpassing €3 million in annual revenue, strengthen its B2B presence across Spain through distribution agreements, and accelerate its expansion in the B2C channel. The investment will also support brand development, expansion of the commercial team, and strategic marketing efforts. Furthermore, the round paves the way for internationalization and the launch of new product lines.
In 2024, Montchis sold over 80,000 cheesecakes, reflecting growing demand for its signature product. Its frozen version has played a key role in this growth by offering unprecedented artisan quality in the frozen dessert segment. This fifth-range solution allows professionals and food establishments to serve a premium product with ease, without compromising the customer experience. Unlike private-label brands, Montchis is committed to building a strong, recognizable brand identity, adding value for both restaurant owners and end consumers.
The round was backed by strategic investors. Alongside Faraday Venture Partners and Grupo Roctin, Guillermo Flores joins as an investor and board member. Flores is a mergers and acquisitions expert with a distinguished track record in the food sector, including the sale of similar pastry companies for €180 million. His experience will be key to driving Montchis' strategic growth. The business angel network, SeedRocket, also supported the round, further validating the confidence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Montchis has been supported since its early days by Lanzadera, the startup accelerator founded by Juan Roig, where it refined its business model and gained access to a strategic industry network. Additionally, the mentorship provided by NetMentora has been crucial for its sustainable and structured growth, offering guidance during critical decision-making moments.
“This milestone allows us to solidify our position in the pastry sector and take a significant step toward our goal: becoming the go-to dessert brand in the food service channel and a top solution for hospitality. We are committed to the brand, to creating value beyond the product, and we firmly believe that differentiation lies in offering a recognizable, consistent, and scalable proposition. In a context where venture capital has long focused almost exclusively on technology, this round proves there is also room for real products—with soul—and strong industrial and commercial ambition,” said Javier Montes, CEO of Montchis.
Jaime Biel, Managing Partner at Faraday, adds: “At Faraday, we invest in projects with a clear identity, strong growth ambition, and sharp execution focus. Montchis brings all of these ingredients to the table: a standout product, a brand with character, and a committed team eager to scale their value proposition in the highly competitive food sector. We are excited to support them in this next phase of expansion.”
With this new capital injection, Montchis will increase its production capacity, strengthen its commercial structure, and continue innovating with new offerings that align with market trends—always staying true to its commitment to excellence and brand identity.
