Summarize with

Manna Coffee has announced a $1.25 million seed funding round at a $15 million pre-money valuation as it looks to expand its autonomous coffee kiosk business and Platform-as-a-Service model, according to a press release. So far, 119 investors have contributed more than $300,000 to the still-open round. The company said the financing will support technology development, deployment capacity and a pipeline of more than 500 potential locations. Manna has sold more than 100 coffee kiosks and operates across 16 states.

Manna also reported a $513,000 backlog of customer-paid orders awaiting fulfillment. Its revenue comes from equipment and implementation fees, recurring software and licensing, ingredients and consumables, payments and co-branding and white-label programs. Potential locations in its development pipeline include offices, residential properties, healthcare facilities, universities, sports centers and arenas.

Manna is using its Co:llective AI Digital Twin platform to manage functions including kiosk telemetry, payment reconciliation, replenishment logistics and marketing. The company says the technology enables a relatively small team to manage a geographically dispersed kiosk network and supports its platform model for operators and brands that want to launch autonomous coffee locations without developing their own technology infrastructure. Founded in 2025, Manna positions itself as an AI-driven platform for unattended retail in addition to operating its coffee kiosk network.
