Chamberlain Coffee, a coffee business created by YouTube star Emma Chamberlain, has raised $7 million in funding. The round was led by existing and new investors, such as Blazar Capital, Emma Chamberlain and United Talent Agency, as well as Volition, Electric Feel Ventures, LA Libations and Noah Bremen. The funds will be used to help the brand expand within the RTD category and to prepare for national retail expansion. Chamberlain Coffee CEO, Christopher Gallant, said: "Growth and innovation are at the core of everything we do, and this fundraiser will allow us to continue creating new products and grow our brand awareness. We're extremely grateful to our returning investors for continuing to believe in the brand and the new ones who are coming on board, sharing in our vision for this next chapter at Chamberlain Coffee." The brand produces a range of flavoured coffee and tea offerings and coffee pods. Chamberlain added: "Creating a uniquely inviting coffee brand has been my dream for so long now, and having key investors back us allows us to build Chamberlain Coffee in ways that feel fresh and exciting. There are so many products I am eager to develop and projects I'm excited to get working on. With such an incredible team and group of investors, I am more excited than ever to see what the future holds for Chamberlain Coffee." Last year, Chamberlain Coffee secured $7 million in a Series A funding round.
