Montreal, Quebec-based roasting and retail company Dispatch Coffee<\/a> has raised $1.26 million (approximately $960,000 USD) in seed funding to support growth plans throughout Canada.<\/p>\n

Founded by Chrissy Durcak in 2012, Dispatch began as a bike delivery service for cold brew, then rolled out a coffee truck before opening a roastery in 2014, followed by two other brick-and-mortar cafes in Montreal.<\/p>\n

With those mobile roots and a mission to bring sustainably sourced coffee to more consumers, the Dispatch brand has been consistently inspired by the transportation industry<\/a>. Thus it’s fitting that the new cash injection will be used to expand Dispatch’s relatively new direct-to-consumer subscription service beyond Quebec.<\/p>\n

“Retail was already changing pre-pandemic,” Durcak said in an announcement of the funding round today. “Now demand for e-commerce and home delivery is exponential. I think in challenging times like these, we’re looking for ways to stay connected, safe, and diversify the experience of being at home.”<\/p>\n

Led by private investment firms Anges Quebec<\/a> and 0MC<\/a>, along with other private investors, the investment is notable in that it supports a company that prides itself on sustainable sourcing with some measure of transparency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company works with numerous U.S. and European coffee importing companies focused on the specialty segment, and each of its single-origin offerings includes extensive detail about the cooperative or farmer group that produced it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
