Monarch Alternative Capital, an investment firm with approximately $9.5bn of assets under management, led a $150m funding round in The Honest Kitchen, the pioneer in human-grade pet food. "The Honest Kitchen was founded with the mission to get as many pets as possible on the road to good health through good food. We’re at a pivotal point for the business after many key wins last year, including our new manufacturing facility in Topeka and entering a completely new segment with our human-grade cat portfolio launch. We look forward to partnering with Monarch to push the brand further, expanding our human-grade production capabilities and reaching more pets," Michael Greenwell, The Honest Kitchen CEO.
