Delta Ventures

We're super proud to share that two of our portfolio companies, Why Not Soda and Swee, participated in the Summer Fancy Food in NYC from June 23-25! This major event brought together a wide range of amazing food products, and we're proud to see two of our portfolio companies making a splash. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to build connections and showcase their products. Tiago Rebelo Diogo Valente Nils S.

Today, May 8th, was a day filled with anticipation and excitement as we unveiled our latest innovations and updates at our In-House Innovation event, Twenty Twenty Forward At Delta, innovation is in our DNA. We’re constantly exploring new horizons and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Our presence now spans across 5 continents, in 40 countries, with over 60 brands, all aimed at delivering exceptional experiences to our customers worldwide. We proudly introduced Delta House, a new milestone in our brand’s journey. Delta House is not just a mother brand; it’s a symbol of our growth and commitment to innovation - it represents our evolution, made possible by the support and partnership of our community. It will serve as a unifying force, bringing together our diverse portfolio of coffee & non-coffee brands under one umbrella and guiding our path forward with clarity and purpose. But the biggest highlight that touched us especially here at Delta Ventures, is the addition of Swee to our portfolio. We first met Swee at From Start-to-Table program in 2021, where we are sponsors, having the pleasure to get to know them better With the dynamic founding team, Tiago Rebelo and Diogo Valente from Swee at the stage, Rui Miguel Nabeiro proudly asked them to re-create their pitch. Their passion for reinventing the ice cream experience resonated with us, especially in an industry where indulgence meets emotion. By offering a healthier alternative, Swee is not just changing recipes; they’re reshaping traditions and paving the way for a more mindful approach to dessert. Also featured in the event was a co-branding activity with Yogan - Plant Based Creamery the winner of Delta Ventures’ Disruption 22/23 program. Yogan that offers a plant-based alternative to dairy products, aligns with our commitment to sustainability and innovation. They have now developed with Delta an Oat based milk exclusively for the HORECA channel. Tired of not having truly healthy vegan alternatives to dairy products, Martinha Costa and @José C. the founders of the brand, started out by crafting and testing recipes in her kitchen using locally sourced almonds. It was a hit - and the rest is history. As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. There’s so much happening behind the scenes and we can’t wait to share with you more!
