Details on this new partnership—including financial terms and duration of the deal—were not revealed as it was announced via social media, but the impetus for this partnership was likely M80 investor Daniil Medvedev’s financial ties to both companies. M80 announced in November that Medvedev had joined the company as an investor/co-owner.

RawQ Foods is a London-based, private/public-limited company registered in the UK that produces organic energy/cereal bars. It was co-founded in June of 2022 by Daria Medvedeva—the wife of tennis pro and M80 investor Daniil Medvedev—and nutritionist Arina Kuzmina (who serves as both its director and CEO).

According to social media posts Kuzmina and several articles since the company’s launch last year, Daniil Medvedev has been a backer of the company since its ideation, funding the duo to perfect its formula and processes, prior to its first product launch.

RawQ joins other M80 sponsors including Aimlabs, ZOWIE, Secretlab, Forge, Gamesense, Portal, and Omnicoach.
