Jaca Opens $5M Series A Funding Round to Scale First Mainstream Allulose Brand Addressing $22 Billion Sugar Alternative Market
Celebrity Partnership with Howie Mandel and World-Class Advisory Board with 200+ Combined Years from Coca-Cola, Walmart, and UNFI to Drive National Expansion of Revolutionary Sugar Replacement
United States, 5th Feb 2026 – Jaca, the first mainstream allulose brand delivering 100% taste parity with conventional sugar and having 90% fewer calories, today announced the opening of its $5 million Series A funding round at a $20 million pre-money valuation. The company is seeking investment from accredited investors to accelerate national market penetration of allulose, a rare, naturally-occurring sugar that 85% of Americans have never heard of, directly addressing the urgent need for a metabolically safe sugar replacement in a market where obesity-related healthcare costs including indirect economic impact exceed $1.79 trillion annually.
The raise positions Jaca to capitalize on a rapidly closing first-mover window. While 77% of Americans actively seek to reduce sugar intake, conventional sugar maintains 95% market dominance due to taste superiority over existing alternatives. Allulose represents the first molecular equivalent to sucrose (meaning it tastes like traditional sugar) with zero glycemic impact (making it Diabetic & Keto friendly), FDA GRAS approval, and clinical validation for activating GLP-1 appetite control pathways and fat-burning mechanisms.
“Jaca represents the rare convergence of blue-ocean market opportunity with de-risked execution,” said Pete Ferrari, Founder and President of Healthy For Life Foods. “We’ve established compelling commercial traction, including a 13.79% repeat purchase rate versus the 3-5% industry average and Amazon bestseller status, while realizing zero major brand competition. Our proprietary AI-native customer acquisition infrastructure is something not seen across the entire eComm industry and this meets our product portfolio at the precise moment consumer health consciousness is reaching critical mass.”
AI-Native Technology Infrastructure
Jaca has deployed the Joint Adaptive Capture Architecture (JACA). This is an AI-powered intent capture and customer acquisition system comprising more than 200 search-optimized pages across 14 schema types, 5 authority engines, and 4 optimization disciplines. The architecture positions Jaca for traditional search (SEO), generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and large language model optimization (LLMO), future-proofing organic customer acquisition against the AI revolution.
The company was selected as 1 of only 50 organizations to participate in Oracle’s NetSuite Accelerator Program, implementing full API integration with Shopify, Amazon, financial institutions, and supply chain providers since Day 1. This enterprise infrastructure ensures data integrity, operational scalability, and financial transparency from inception. This is a critical differentiator for strategic partners.
Celebrity Partnership Drives Mass Market Credibility
Jaca’s partnership with Howie Mandel – entertainment icon and health advocate – provides unparalleled national awareness and retail credibility. The collaboration includes 2,500+ media placements spanning streaming channel platforms, billboards, and podcasts, alongside the branded anthem “Sweet Like Jaca” on Spotify. Mandel’s authentic health journey resonates with the 74% of Americans struggling with weight management, translating celebrity influence into measurable commercial traction.
World-Class Advisory Board Spans Coca-Cola, Walmart, Ocean Spray, and JP Morgan
Jaca has assembled a Senior Leadership Council representing over 200 combined years of executive presence across regulatory affairs, distribution, product development, private equity, and financial strategy, including: the former Chief Science Officer at Coca-Cola, with advisory roles at the FDA, USDA, and CDC, providing regulatory and scientific authority, a Senior Vice President at UNFI (the largest U.S. natural grocery products distributor) delivering distribution and retail expertise, the inventor and category creator of Craisins for Ocean Spray with 40+ years of food and beverage expertise, the Founder and CEO of a Private Equity firm versed in M&A strategy, and, a Wharton MBA who established JP Morgan’s Southeast Asian operations and served as economic advisor to the Kingdom of Thailand.
Capital Will Prioritize Advertising
The $5 million Series A monies will be strategically deployed across five key areas: 67% toward advertising and customer acquisition; 13% for payroll and talent expansion; 9% for inventory and supply chain optimization; 8% for general and administrative operations; and 3% for R&D and product innovation. The capital structure is designed to support robust projected revenue growth over the next 3 years.
Purpose-Driven Ecosystem
Beyond product innovation, Jaca has invested more than a year in developing the SuperSelf Lifestyle Enrichment Program, a comprehensive suite of free health and wellbeing resources including a podcast series and four educational modules covering lifestyle audits, nutrition, fitness, and metabolic analysis. The goal is to help everyone, everywhere, find a pathway to better Health & Wellbeing.
The company’s established 501(c)(3), The Foundation for Nutritional Equality, combats child hunger in America and a portion of Jaca’s profit supports this truly meaningful endeavor.
About Jaca
Jaca is the first mainstream allulose brand delivering 100% taste parity with conventional sugar having 90% fewer calories and zero glycemic impact. The company’s diversified product portfolio spans granulated rare sugar, ready-to-drink beverages, energy products, and functional wellness SKUs. Headquartered in Florida, Jaca combines proprietary AI-native customer acquisition infrastructure with a celebrity partnership, world-class advisory board, and purpose-driven community ecosystem. The company is positioned to capture a large piece of the $22 billion sugar alternative market where 85% of Americans remain unaware of allulose. For more information, visit www.jacasugar.com.

TT Devassy Jewellery Marks 85 Years with the Unveiling of Designer-Made Heritage Collection
Kochi, February 5, 2026: TT Devassy Jewellery, a house synonymous with designer-made fine jewellery, marked 85 years of creative excellence with the unveiling of a curated heritage collection at The Grounds, Chakola Mill, Kochi. The milestone evening brought together patrons, designers, artists, and members of the creative fraternity.
The celebration reaffirmed the House’s commitment to jewellery as a crafted expression of design — where artistry, intent, and heritage converge. For over eight decades, TT Devassy has positioned jewellery not merely as ornamentation, but as a medium of memory, identity, and storytelling.
A defining moment of the evening was the introduction of POYEMS, the new design-led label from TT Devassy Jewellery. Conceived as a concept-driven extension of the House, POYEMS reimagines jewellery as narrative — where form, symbolism, and emotion take precedence over excess — signalling a new design era grounded in original authorship.
Introducing the POYEMS Collective, Architect and Creative Director Minna Elizabeth guided guests through the ideas shaping each design.
“For 85 years, this House has shaped memory in gold,” she said.
“But legacy does not stand still. It evolves, questions, and redefines. POYEMS was born in that process.”
Among the highlights, Kilimala was presented as an heirloom rooted in family lineage and reinterpreted as a living inheritance. Vazhayilamala, inspired by the banana leaf, expressed organic fluidity, while architectural symmetry drawn from landmarks such as the Taj Mahal and Hawa Mahal translated built heritage into ornament. Thamarapoothali drew from sacred tradition and the ritual symbolism of Theyyam.
“The POYEMS are not simply collections — they are storytellers. This is where legacy becomes design,” she added.
Built on a belief in thoughtful craftsmanship, TT Devassy Jewellery has long championed designer-authored creation, balancing time-honoured techniques with contemporary expression — a defining hallmark that distinguishes the House within an increasingly trend-driven market.
Conceived as an editorial runway, the anniversary showcase moved beyond the conventional jewellery presentation, tracing the brand’s evolution from heritage craftsmanship to its place within today’s design-driven luxury landscape.
The evening included addresses by Anil Jose, Managing Director and Seema Anil, Executive Director, and Adon Tharakan, Executive Director – Finance & Development, reflecting on the House’s continued creative direction.
As TT Devassy Jewellery enters its 85th year, the House reaffirms its philosophy — designer-made jewellery as an enduring craft, where heritage meets modern interpretation. The POYEMS collections are presented exclusively at the House’s MG Road flagship in Kochi.

Press Release
Pascal Capital Announces Imminent Launch of Ecosystem Token, Advancing Trading System Towards Open Ecosystem
Recently, the emerging financial services institution Pascal Capital officially announced that its core ecosystem token, ARXN, is nearing completion of its issuance and will soon enter market circulation. This move signifies that the company’s strategy of opening its internally operational trading system capabilities to a broader range of ecosystem participants has entered a new phase.
It is understood that Pascal Capital’s founding team has a background in traditional finance and quantitative trading. In its early development stages, the company focused on providing trading system solutions for institutional clients. After navigating multiple market cycles, the team began working to transform its system capabilities into more standardized and reusable infrastructure. Its core product, the ARX system, has undergone several iterations and has now evolved into a modular architecture comprising a model engine, intelligent risk monitoring, and automated trading interfaces. The company stated that the system has passed extensive live trading tests.
The issuance of the ARXN token is seen as a critical step in opening these system capabilities externally. According to information disclosed by the company, the token’s design primarily revolves around long-term value and ecosystem stability, with its value logic linked to the system’s actual performance, user base growth, and trading volume. In the initial issuance phase, the token incorporates a lock-up period arrangement aimed at directing focus toward long-term ecosystem development. In the future, the token is planned to be used for community incentives, user rewards, and the construction of governance mechanisms.
Regarding future development, Pascal Capital revealed that its focus over the next three to five years will center on four key areas: continuously upgrading the ARX system to cover a wider range of asset classes and enhance automation; building long-term plans based on systematic returns; designing regional partnership mechanisms; and promoting more open ecosystem collaboration by integrating additional financial instruments and application scenarios.
Analysis points out that transitioning from a closed system provider to an open financial ecosystem builder is a direction currently being explored by many fintech companies. Pascal Capital’s latest move reflects its attempt to productize and ecosystemize its internally validated trading system capabilities. How to transform technological capabilities into a sustainable business model and maintain system stability and efficiency within an open ecosystem will be its primary challenges.
The launch of ARXN indicates that Pascal Capital’s commercialization process has taken a new step. The market will continue to monitor the actual performance of its system in a more open environment and whether its ecosystem co-building model can attract long-term participants.
