## About

Based in Brighton, UK, and founded in 2019, Sessions Accelerator Limited, doing business as Sessions Marketplace, operates as a platform provider, intended to develop and scale founder-led food brands. In January 2022, Sessions Marketplace raised GBP 7.5 million in series A financing led by new investor Guinness Asset Management, with participation from other investors. As of 2022, the company is being led by its founder and CEO, Dan Warne, and CFO Ian Banks.

Sessions Marketplace is a growth platform that assists emerging food brands and their founders to develop and scale their business, allowing them to compete with well-established industry names. The firm conducts community food halls, identifies talented food brands, and gives them industry exposure by connecting them with nationwide food operators and leading businesses. Through Sessions Marketplace, talented food brands can become the company’s partner and can license their food products to various businesses across the nation.

The firm will use the proceeds from January 2022 funding to continue helping food founders scale their businesses. The company also targets to collaborate with 15 more chefs and plans to launch 500 more kitchens within 2023.
