On March 17, 2026, Chowbus, a North American food and beverage technology company, proudly declared the successful closure of its latest funding round, raising an impressive $81 million. This infusion of capital brings the company's total funding to date to a remarkable $209 million. The funding round was jointly spearheaded by Prysm Capital and Left Lane Capital, with notable contributions from a range of other investors, including Dutchess, Fika Ventures, and Avid Bank.
