Sydney-based Refilled raised A$5.6 million in a Series A round. OIF Ventures led the funding, with existing investor Melt Ventures and fund manager David Paradice also participating. The company makes smart drink dispensers for offices.
Funding so far
The Series A brings Refilled's total funding to A$7.5 million. Melt Ventures led the A$1.3 million Seed round in 2023. The company emerged from the University of Technology Sydney.
Early customers and reach
Refilled had installed 42 machines across Australia by June 2025. Early adopters included the University of Technology Sydney, the University of Sydney, and Google's Sydney office. The company also signed coworking operator The Working Capitol as its first Singapore customer.
What the Refiller does
The Refiller chills and filters tap water and serves it still or sparkling. Users can add Australian-made flavors, caffeine, vitamins, or electrolytes. Each machine holds enough ingredients for more than 7,680 cans and reorders supplies automatically.
Refilled plans to use the new capital for global expansion. The company has set a goal of removing one billion single-use plastic bottles from landfill. It also plans to add probiotic, protein, and collagen drinks in 2027.
