All Things, the UK-based dairy brand, has raised new funds as it gears up for expansion into the US.
The investment round, worth £3.6m ($4.9m), was led by London-based firm The Equity Studio, alongside Access Industries and Active Partners.

All Things declined to comment on the shareholdings held by investors and on how much the company has now raised since it was set up three years ago.
The fresh funding comes ahead of All Things’ launch into an unnamed national US retailer in September.
All Things plans to use part of the proceeds to invest in its supply chain “to support the scaling of cottage cheese production and expansion into additional dairy categories”. The company plans to “move towards vertical integration” and is set to make an announcement in the coming weeks.
Founded in 2023 by chef Thomas Straker and entrepreneur Toby Hopkinson as All Things Butter, the brand has expanded beyond its initial product of butter into cottage cheese, which it launched in January.
In the UK, All Things has listings with grocers including Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Waitrose. Its products are set to go on sale at Tesco next month.
Straker said: “We created All Things to inspire people to elevate their everyday cooking with the highest quality British ingredients. These are the products we use in our own restaurant kitchens every day, so it is incredibly exciting to bring that same quality to supermarket shelves.”
All Things also sells its products in the UAE through retailers including Waitrose, Carrefour and Spinneys.
Anna Sweeting, the founder of The Equity Studio, said: “Dairy is a structurally large category that hasn’t evolved with the consumer. Thomas, Toby and the team aren’t creating a niche brand – they’re redefining everyday behaviour, turning daily essentials into cultural signals, built through social, community and lifestyle from day one.”
All Things declined to disclose its net sales and profit in its last financial year or its forecasts for its current year.
The Equity Studio specialises in what it calls “high-growth consumer brands across wellness, beauty and conscious living”.
In January last year, the firm made an undisclosed investment in UK soft drinks company Trip.
Trip, founded in 2019 by Olivia Ferdi and Dan Khoury, is primarily known for its CBD-infused beverages.
