Mitsoh, an Indigenous-owned food company and one of Canada's fastest-growing meat snack brands, announced today a multimillion-dollar investment from Raven Indigenous Capital Partners. The growth financing will expand Mitsoh's manufacturing capacity at its Edmonton production facility, enhance national distribution and fuel new product innovation across its line of premium meat snacks

 As part of the company's next phase of growth, Mike Fata, a seasoned Canadian food entrepreneur and investor known for scaling Manitoba Harvest into a $100-million enterprise, has been appointed Mitsoh chairman of the board.

"This investment is about more than capital, it's a commitment to amplifying Indigenous leadership in food," said Sean McCormick, partner at Raven Indigenous Capital Partners. "Mitsoh is redefining what it means to build a modern Indigenous-owned food brand, one that celebrates culture, quality, and community while delivering category-leading growth."

Fata said, "Mitsoh is a rare combination of purpose and performance. We're building the future of meat snacks in Canada; authentic, clean-label, and proudly Indigenous-owned. With Raven's support and our talented team, we're ready to take Mitsoh from a regional success to a national household name."

Brandon Markiw, Mitsoh CEO and co-founder, said, "Mitsoh is entering a scale-up phase that demands both operational excellence and cultural integrity. Raven's investment gives us the firepower to expand production, strengthen national distribution, and accelerate innovation while staying true to our Indigenous roots. This is the moment we take Mitsoh from a fast-growing challenger brand to a category leader."

Ian Gladue, Mitsoh co-founder and rainmaker, added, "Mitsoh started as a way for me to reconnect with my family's food traditions and bring that spirit forward for future generations. Partnering with Raven ensures we're growing in a way that honours our culture, supports our communities, and keeps our products rooted in our traditions."
