Doughlicious, the London-based international cookie dough brand known for its clean-label and innovative frozen treats, has received an investment from Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company.
The partnership marks a major milestone for the fast-growing company as it continues to expand across the United States and international markets.
Future Back Ventures focuses on investing in high-potential ventures founded or led by Bain & Company alumni. While the fund supports a diverse range of industries worldwide, Doughlicious represents its first consumer packaged goods investment—selected for its alignment with Future Back’s mission to back forward-thinking companies that are reshaping their categories and connecting deeply with consumers. Dan Bricken, Doughlicious’s Chief Financial Officer and Co-Founder, is a Bain alumnus whose time at the firm continues to influence his approach to leadership and strategic growth.
“It’s incredibly humbling to receive the support of Future Back Ventures. Bain & Company has played such an important role in my professional journey, and I’m thrilled to have them involved,” said Dan Bricken, CFO of Doughlicious. “Their belief in Doughlicious and our mission to reimagine cookie dough as a modern, feel-good indulgence is both personally meaningful and exciting for what’s ahead for our business and brand.”
The new investment will support Doughlicious’s continued growth, including expansion across the US and other international markets. The company has recently achieved several major milestones, from product innovation and team growth to a retail rollout in more than 1,000 Kroger stores nationwide—making its frozen dough bites more widely available to American consumers seeking cleaner, better-for-you indulgences.
“Doughlicious is a standout example of a purpose-driven, high-growth brand disrupting a traditional category with creativity, innovation, and integrity,” said Ann Scott-Plante, Head of Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company. “We’re thrilled to support Dan, Kathryn, and the Doughlicious team as they bring joy and quality to consumers worldwide.”
Founded in London by Kathryn Bricken, Doughlicious has built a devoted following for its gluten-free, sustainably produced cookie dough made from premium ingredients and offered in a range of flavors. With the backing of Future Back Ventures, the brand is poised to strengthen its position as a global leader in the next generation of better-for-you treats.
