Terms in plain English
Food-X was SOSV's food focused accelerator in New York. Per the archive page SOSV keeps online at food-x.com, the program ran from 2014 through 2020, invested in about 100 companies, and has ceased running new cohorts. It historically invested cash for equity, but the specific check size and equity percentage were never confirmed on a primary source, so we list them as not published. The program is retired and there is no open application.
Who this is actually for
No one can apply to Food-X today. Founders building food science or agrifood companies who would have fit this program should apply to SOSV's current accelerators instead; as of July 2026 sosv.com lists SOSV NY, SOSV SF, and HAX, with applications at sosv.com/apply. SOSV SF explicitly advertises food prototyping and production labs on site.
