Founteyn

Based in the Netherlands, Founteyn develops a patented capsule-based beverage platform that dispenses hot, cold, still, and sparkling drinks in under 15 seconds for commercial environments. The company's proprietary hardware system targets away-from-home locations such as small to medium enterprises, corporate offices, and hospitality venues. By replacing traditional single-use packaging, the technology reduces material usage by over 80 percent and lowers overall carbon footprints by 50 percent compared to standard aluminum cans and PET bottles. Founteyn generates its primary revenue through direct business-to-business sales of its all-in-one dispensing machines and proprietary consumable drink capsules. The enterprise has secured €19.3 million in Series A venture funding across multiple tranches from beverage industry leaders to scale its operations and support a strategic collaboration with PepsiCo. Founteyn was established in 2015 by founder and chief executive officer Boyd Mulder.
