Nothing Before Coffee secures $2.3m in Pre-Series A funding

The fresh funds will be used to open 150 new cafes by 2026.

Nothing Before Coffee has raised $2.3m in a Pre-Series A funding round led by Prath Ventures, with participation from SYL Investments.

According to the brand, the fresh funds will be used to open 150 new cafes across India in FY2026, focusing on emerging Tier-II and Tier-III markets.

Part of the funds will also be used to strengthen the brand’s digital platforms, invest in supply chain optimisation and talent acquisition to support the brand’s growth.

Nothing Before Coffee also plans to experiment with new store formats like compact kiosks and premium high-street cafes in smaller cities.

“This funding milestone is a strong validation of our vision and operating model. The capital will help us deepen our presence, invest in technology and talent, and unlock the next phase of growth as we work towards becoming India’s most loved and accessible coffee chain,” Ankesh Jain, co-founder of Nothing Before Coffee, said.
